About
I am a Cell Biologist. My tools of the trade include a pipetter, a microscope and a joy-stick driven micromanipulator. Currently I head a lab in The Biochemistry Department at the University of Toronto where my lab expores the dark world of mRNA. Like all crazed scientists who can't stop talking about their obsessions, these topics pop up in many posts.
But this blog, just like Seed Magazine, is not just about science, but art, food, music, citylife and other mental stimuli.
