Back again, I know, I know

I was doing well there for a moment, but it didn't last.  Oh well, Here I am again.  Trying to get back into journaling again, therefore, sharing most of it with you guys.  I have also decided to use http://www.goodreads.com/ For those who don't know, this is a website dedicated to the reading of books.  I have gotten back into reading, and it's great.  I really do love a good book.  Thanks to some friends I now have quite a large list of books that I have listed as to-read.  Anyways, I hope to see you all soon.  I will try harder this time to write in this.

More news:  So next week I will be presenting a poster on my current research.  It is already getting attention as I am a finalist for 'Best Poster Abstract'. I assume the award is cash, which I would love. (Who wouldn't right?)

I have recently (alright about a month and a half ago) acquired all of the cosmere novels by Brandon Sanderson in hardback.  They are all signed and five of them are first editions, including the entire Mistborn trilogy :) Here is a pic

My research was talked about in a recent BBC special.  The program is called 'Horizon' and the episode was entitled 'Playing God'.  It is pretty awesome.  If you want to watch the program in it's entirety you can search for it on Youtube.  If you'd prefer to see an edited, shortened version you can check out my Facebook page, I posted the video here.  The hands that they zoom in on are mine

Last but not least here is a funny pic I rediscovered earlier.

I found this a while ago but saw it again, it makes me chuckle.
