"Beauty" and Science

I've decided to read each of these two articles in conjunction with the other.  Thanks to Melissa Atkins Wardy @ PigtailPals and BaseballBuddies for posting links.  http://www.pigtailpals.com


If I didn't have my first graduate school exam tomorrow morning, perhaps I could formulate a response to these articles faster.  I couldn't hold off posting the links though.  More thoughts to come, once I have time to think of things besides bacterial chemotaxis, model organisms, and protein structure.

Grad School: Week 3

Grad school isn't about just studying and group learning (although we seem to do plenty of that every week!).  We celebrated Labor Day on Sunday evening (Sunday funday?) at MedPark... the UTSW owned apartments.  There were dogs, burgers, guac (which I am learning to L.O.V.E. thanks to my friend Hillary), Texas sheet cake (omg thank Tori!), stuffed poblano pepper goodness, etc.  And that was just the food!  There was tackle football too... thank goodness no one got hurt (this was the latest report at least)!
