I've done a fair bit of biophysics, and whenever I do more cellular stuff, I think of it in biophysical terms - like rates of production, concentrations in the nucleus/cell, avidity effects and so on... one almost needs to (temporarily) reset one's memory and pretend one knows nothing at all, in order to learn the most, without bias...in other words, while experience focusses the mind, it also narrows it! <br />What I really wonder, though, is how one goes back to science (as a PI ultimately) after having spent a few years without publications-unless more postdocs ensue, which then really must yield some rather good papers? Maybe I should start my own blog- for all these Gedankenspiele :)Dan Teufelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12230826378019843987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5160032477388044521.post-28877640158432140422011-09-21T02:25:58.875-07:002011-09-21T02:25:58.875-07:00Absolutely! ;-) I don't really see myself as h...Absolutely! ;-) I don't really see myself as having left science, more as taking a detour in order to be able to put a different spin on my research in the future. While watching my fellow co-students becoming doctors, I realise that I have already been moulded into shape, as a scientist. It's too late for me to shake that off ;-)! I really like medicine, but will definitely keep the science going. <br /><br />Thanks for your comment! ;-)shalareehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02391821533106996609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5160032477388044521.post-2271447177780601702011-09-18T07:41:44.753-07:002011-09-18T07:41:44.753-07:00Nice blog!
