Food for thought ...

... very interesting article on staying connected. Could I do without a cell phone? Probably.

Tom said...: Question for you Cath. Somewhat independent of this blog entry. How big is your cell phone?

All this talk about micro-items (dental floss, chapstick, what have you ...) and the device we always wanted to be small is now getting huge. Why?; 12:37 PM
Cath@VWXYNot? said...: It's an iPhone, so yeah, bigger (but thinner) than most phones were 3-4 years ago. When I'm at work / on the bus / anywhere else where I want to listen to my music or podcast, it lives in a leather case that clips onto the outside of my trousers, so it's never actually in the way. At other times the phone (in its case) fits nicely into my purse, which is a decent size and is not required to lug around any items for kids or husbands :); 3:05 PM

Who is this joker?

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!
