Decisions Decisions...
Crap. All the research here is so damn interesting. How am I supposed to decide? It's good that they built 3 test-pilot rotations with different labs into the system or it would be a real pain in the ass choosing.
There's the guy working with Yersinia Pestis (plague). Man, it's so freaking exciting. But I am as ever drawn to virology (lots of HIV work going on here, but others too), and they both involve very different techniques and models. Not toooo different. I wouldn't be the only guy who started out working with bacteria and switched to viruses. Either way I'll most likely get to work in a Bio-safety level 3 lab. Suit up! Get the personal respirator! Much lower chance of dying...like in the Bio-level 4.
Anywho, 2 more meetings tomorrow and some more research talks. I'm hoping I can make a decision on my first lab by Wednesday. Some of the other damn go-getters around here already took 2 of the labs I was interested in. Silly me, taking time to consider.
