Just want to point you all towards a Q&A I did with an animal blag, 'Paw Talk'! Theyve been doing these with lots of science bloggers, and the series has been pretty fun, so Im glad Ive been included!
I also think its funny that both Ava and Conspiracy Skeptic picked the same piccie of Arnie to post lol! That is the cutest damn pic of him. Such a teddy bear, just want to squish his fuzzy puppy face :D

In that picture of Arnie, he looks like he had made something for you, but he eated it. ;-)

He does look adorable, though - I say this as a cat-person - is there any lab in him, or is that just what pits look like?

"If he gets bored, he eats futons." HA!
I just wanna smooch Arnie's face. True story.

is growing impatient with waiting for me to die, so he can eat me.
P.S. Since we started stocking a small herd's worth of rawhide and scattering hundreds of dessicated pig bits his reign of terror appears to have abated.

Hi Abby,
Owning that cat I had for 21 years taught me a couple of things, one was - never pull a cat's tail when you sleep on a waterbed.
She had walked over me as I slept one night, and I expressed myself with a grab of her tail. Maybe three hours later I found that had created three small punctures and a nice damp region by my legs.
Off-topic alert.... my real reason for posting
This (forthcoming, epub) paper might be something to sink *your* teeth into, Abby, as it concerns genomic stability and elements in which you have interest.

It was in the "forthcoming articles" part of the Nature contents email today.

Abby (and any other virus researchers):
I'm currently college shopping1, so do you know if there are any colleges/universities with good virology / molecular biology departments/people in Virginia2? I'll be an undergraduate, so I don't expect to find a virology degree available, but undergrad research...

2: My grandparents, who live there, have offered to pay if I can get resident rates and live with them. They've also suggested Liberty University, which as you can guess is RIGHT OUT.
