Shape Of My Heart

Don’t Go Breakin’ My Heart

unchain my heart

blogo-note

Blogging will be light to inexistent for a week or so. A few days out to recover from the more intensive in papers reviewing and grants evaluation period of my life. I’m not ready to accept the same charge again for a few decades.

I really feel exhausted but odds seem good for the two projects I spotted as excellent and I’m really happy with that. And the papers reviewing was fun, even with the one I negatively criticized (it was rejected).

I wrote a letter to the Editors-in-Chief for a recently published paper and that was painful, I hate that kind of backstage discussions. Depending on the issue, I may decide to go public and publish here my remarks. Using a blog for post-publication review of a paper is much more fun then writing letters to editors, be they in-Chief.

To keep you posted I programmed music videos and my choices are folded around a single theme. I hope you’ll enjoy! At least most of you

I checked for “Directed Evolution”, “Swirly Embryos” and “Caudal Cardiac Folds”. Nope!

But how big the poster should be to get all of it?
