Tom said...: Heh. I was going to link to that site. I've seen it before, it's pretty funny.

The meeting is ok. Today has been a bit of a let down, but yesterday was good, and tomorrow (the pyrosequencing talks) look to be worthwhile as well. My poster went well yesterday as well ... more than a few people were happy to see my results, which in turn made me happy. Now to get them published!; 2:14 PM
Genomic Repairman said...: Can't stand CS and cannot even believe someone believes it is professional to present that font at a meeting. Congrats on the poster.; 7:37 PM
Ivan Privaci said...: Ah, but will you be relieved or enraged when you find that they switch to "Papyrus" instead of "MS Comic Sans"?; 9:34 PM
microbiologist xx said...: Yeah, I don't get the allure of using that font. It's on par with using bubble letters. Blech.; 12:32 PM

Who is this joker?

Thomas Joseph
Professionally I am a bug hunter (aka microbiologist) and a gene jockey (aka molecular biologist). I started my career as a med tech, but now I'm a research scientist who studies environmental microbiology. When I'm not answering scientific questions about the roles that microbes play on climate change and/or water and soil quality, I'm an amateur astronomer and play racquetball. I'm also a sports nut, though my liking of both the NY Metropolitans (baseball) and NY Jets (football) tests my devotion to these sports on a continual basis. Fortunately, I'm also an OU alumnus (PhD, Microbiology) and we usually have a pretty good football team. Boomer Sooner!
