Because with the memories came the obvious grasp that my dad is gone. It was the very definition of bittersweet. Sure, there might be laughter and the subtle shape of a smile, but inevitably there’d also be tears and the realization that this is where the memories ended. But as the months passed, remembering and recounting tidbits from my childhood, my dad’s sayings and jokes and other memories started doing the opposite: they started bringing me a sense of peace. Not an overwhelming wave of calm, but a small token of serenity. I also knew very well that talking about my dad meant honoring his memo...

Often in a quiet moment, just before going to sleep, while reviewing the day, we try to work out how friends and family might interpret what we’ve said and done. How neurotic does my partner think I am? Do my colleagues think of me as a reliable, hard worker? Do my friends think I’m stuck in a rut or open to new experiences? Here on the inside we have a model of ourselves that makes sense, but out there, what conclusions are those who know us best drawing about our personalities? Of course we all differ and you might imagine that the differences between actor and observer would cancel out. For example some people might appear more conscientious than they are, and others less so. How Do Your Friends See You? When ps...

One of the commenters on part II wrote that: For most academic biology groups, however, being a bioinformatics specialist is a dead end job! People in these roles may or may not be PhDs, but they end up in fouth author hell - always the fourth author on hundreds of papers - which cuts no ice when it comes to institutional promotion boards. Of course, he didn't ask for my opinion about this, but I'll share it anyway. And I want to hear from you. Do you think this is a fair assessment? tags: biotechnology careers, biotechnology, career+descriptions, bioinformatics Read the rest of this post... | Read the comments on this post...

But, last week, since I wanted to write about bioinformatics software companies, I broke with tradition and wrote about Geospiza as an example. Naturally, I got some feedback about this. Some people liked it, but one of the most opinionated people said that I had given the software engineering and IT side short shrift and that I should write about that side a bit more. Today, is my attempt at a remedy. tags: biotechnology careers, biotechnology, career+descriptions, bioinformatics Read the rest of this post... | Read the comments on this post...

What can students do with a science degree once they've finished college? Some answers can be found at the "Life Sciences Central web site. Created by the Workforce Development Council of Seattle-King County, this is a wonderful resource for anyone who's considering biotechnology for a potential career. My favorite part of the site is the series of short video interviews from people in the biotech industry, describing what they do on the job and how they got there. tags: biotechnology careers, biotechnology, career+descriptions Read the rest of this post... | Read the comments on this post...
