No I'm not dead. I have been performing some tricky bucket biochemistry, traveling to Montreal every second weekend, taking care of the upcoming season of NERD talks, dealing with job applications, supervising a rotation student and will soon be supervising an undergrad.

(On July 16, 2009, I asked for volunteers with science degrees and non-academic jobs who would be willing to be interviewed about their careers paths, with the goal of providing young scientists with more information about career options beyond the pursuit of a tenure-track faculty job that is too…
I'm beginning to wonder IF I really do have time to blog, I'm gonna try to keep it up though. Personally, I think I will start to write more science-oriented entries to try to focus my lay sections for grants, fund-raising (local) and reviews. Helps me feel less guilty about dedicating time to the blog when I am doing something that I need to do anyway (and hopefully get some insight into where I am not clear from the readers).
Sounds like you're busy but hopefully with some exciting stuff on the horizon.
