Last week, I attended the American Medical Writers Association Annual Conference in Atlanta. It was a really enriching experience, full of learning and networking. The organization is very personal; it feels like a very large family. It was the first time I felt like a real medical writer, as I congregated with my peers and colleagues. Everyone had ( Read more... )

On Saturday, I moved into my own apartment. That, in and of itself, is enough upheaval and excitement for one week ( Read more... )

So I don't think I'm going to Austin.

See, most of you found out about the lack of marathon on Friday. It's easy to be gung-ho about it when you've been carrying all this excitement along all this time.

Rob told us there were Issues almost a month ago. Hell, for once, I learned something before eirefaerie did. At that time, we thought the entire thing was ( Read more... )

Okay, before, I get to posting about the episode, I have to post something else. And it might come off as bragging or self-indulgent...because it is. But when you have a fucking Master's degree and you're working in a goddamn university bookstore and you feel that if you actually took stock of your life, you'd start to cry, even the littlest things ( Read more... )

If you are cool, you have visited my science blog, Protein Angst. If you are more than cool, you remember my last post, "Harry Potter and the Order of the T Cells."

You see, however, I am cooler than all of you, because today I received an e-mail...from the subject of the post:
