Sounds like a Scrubs show title, but really yesterday I had one of the most meaningful scientific moment, where suddenly something made so much sense, and suddenly I knew that I was going to be in science for the rest of my life. This is a dynein protein complex, and it transports vessicles around the cell. And I saw the shape of this protein complex, was told how it works and started to cry, because it was just something that made so much sense and something that was so amazing in its function and complexity. I told a few people about this experience and was laughed at, which i expected, it was a rather nerdy thing to do. But even though I probably won't end up in something like cellular biology, i know that i'll stay in science, more specifically biology, because i know that there are more moments like this to come in my life, and this is the kind of life that i would love to have. I figure that this is kind of like my own personal religious experience, and now i want to be in endless pursuit of this wonderful, never ending field of Science.
Also, my schedule for next year
- Sensation and Perception (8:30- 9:20)
- Experimental Methods (9:30- 10:20)
- Child Development (10:30- 11:20)
- Developmental Biology (1:00- 1:50)
- Astronomy (9:30- 10:50)

You know...it would be helpful to us readers of your blog if you maybe included a description of the picture, like what those molecules actually do. I know, but I don't know if everyone does. You've got to appeal to the non-science crowd!
