On the work front

Having lost more than a month this Summer to absence and general un-productivity, I've officially turned on the jet engines now. I'm busy isolating my favorite plant pathogen, and have a number of experiments lined up. I also have to call together my committee to explain my lack of results so far and to schedule my qualifying exams. Considering that I passed my qualifying exams in my previous program, I don't really feel like going through it again. But that's the nature of the game. On the bright side, since I'll be more engrossed in real science, more science-related posts are likely to follow. So now: back to the microscope.
