I'm so excited! I found out today that my paper was just accepted for publication in the journal Developmental Biology! And I'm first author! For a grad student this is a wonderful milestone to pass during the graduate career. Every department has an unofficial/official requirement that you must not ONLY have a thesis written and defended, but your research published. Our department's going rate is two first-author papers. A few revisions need to be made, but I've now got one down and one to go :-)
To celebrate, I'm offering to you one of the most kick-ass videos on youtube. It's of James the Amazing Randi, a very famous magician, debunking the claimed 'psychic' James Hydrick on primetime television! It's a butt-kicking worth watching; you begin to wonder how deluded or evil he is - perhaps both? It turns out, just pure evil - as he confessed to an investigative reporter after this very failed performance. Oh, and you get to see Bob Barker in his younger days - hope you enjoy it as much as I do!
It's all about the journey ...right? 'Reason' seems to be a noun, a place to which I am attempting to journey. 'Reason' more accurately represents my reality as a verb - my journey is something that I am relentlessly trying to reason in a world confounded by human emotion and ruled by illogical judgments. Through documenting my thoughts on science, philosophy, religion, politics, and day-to-day life I can infer some meaning from this journey and find like-minded humans with which to share it.
