Coming back soon

It has taken a lot more of my time and energy that I thought it would to finish writing my dissertation. If all goes well, that will soon be over, and I am looking forward to returning to this blog and posting regularly. In the meantime, I have been saving all the notes from seminars I attended, and I will post them as soon as possible. Sadly, I was unable to attend all of those seminars. Blame it on the writing too! Exciting topics in are coming up, possibly as early as the first week of December.

End of summer

The summer is almost over. I have not been posting as much as I would have like to. Currently I am trying to finish up my degree by December of this year. This poses interesting challenges. The first submission of my dissertation is due in the second week of October, but I still have experiments running until at least the third week of September. I have a set of backup experiments that will not be done until the first week of October. This means it will be extremely hectic while I try to write up my dissertation and do research at the same time.

For this blog that means that there will be almost no posting of original articles like I had planned. I have several articles in the pipeline, including one that would explain the title of this blog "The Hypersensitive Response."

The good news is that the Fall semester will start in a couple of weeks, which means that weekly seminar will return. I am still planning to attend every last one of those and post summaries on this blog as I have in the past. So stay tuned!
