thanks for the support! osmose, right now i'm studying differentiation patterns of stem cells in c. elegans, which seems to be much more complicated than just the gradient of a molecule, so there might be something interesting and conserved in other organisms. also, i used to be turned off to neurobiology since it felt like it would be too limiting, but knowing more about it it's actually really neat and interdisciplinary. plus, a lot of the bio that i've done has a lot to do with just anylyzing a lot of mutant and seeing the phenotype, which is old-school and boring.

but c. elegans are so cute! they are tiny worms that and slip-slide around in bacteria (e. coli, their food) all day, and you can see right through them. too bad part of my job always winds up being cutting like 200 of their heads off.
 
Ah, nematodes, a most strange group of creatures, though very intriguing, as long as you don't develop a newatode based disease. I actually derive joy from removing the heads of my Drosophila melanogaster, I hate those little bastards. I removed a few extra brains to keep as trophies.

I lurked here for some time before posting, then I think my first HELLO post was while drunk too.
