Welcome!

I thought it was about time that I make a "proper" blog, something with somewhat themed content devoid of one liners. For some time I have felt the need to contribute to the blogosphere, and this also gives me something to do while I'm waiting for my experiment to run besides facebook and endlessly refreshing news sites.

This blog will include the following:

• Reviews of journal articles I find interesting, fit for the scientifically-minded general public. This has the added personal benefit to myself, because it will force me to actually read more than just the abstract before saving a paper to my massively unread "Papers" folder. I'll endeavor to do one a week.
• Talk about interesting science stuff happening in the world.
• Complain about bad science reporting.
• Occasional nice photos.
• If something interesting actually happens in my lab, you'll hear about that too.
• Whatever else I feel like!

And because I have the word "photos" in the blog title, here is an obligatory cute dog photo:
