Hey fellas!

Time for another round of blog posts?!?
I'll start with a short update from Sluisland. I just joined the lab that I'll be in for the next 4+ years, so that's exciting. I'll be doing work with Maize, mostly focusing on plant development, how tissues are formed, phyllotaxy (leaf patterning), and fun stuff like that. Which means I get to use a bunch of really expensive and fun microscopes, which is just about ideal. I've got my own mutant to work on and everything. I had intended on joining a different lab, but that dude just took a position at Ohio State (Boooooooo!!!!) which pretty much just confirms everything I've ever though about that shithole (well, everything but James, of course). That said, I'm still pretty happy with the way things are going. Berkeley especially is pretty awesome, and if any of you came to visit I guarantee some good times. Also, I think a bunch of us from the program are gonna do Burning Man, not this summer, but the next, if any of you are interested in losing your mind. Oh, and one more thing: the last final I'll ever take (provided you don't count quals as a final) is next week, and promises to be super easy (grad classes are a joke!), so yay!

Things have definitely chilled out a lot around here, so depending on what semester I get pegged for GSIing, I'll be doing a football game no doubt. But if I get stuck with fall semester, we'll have to think of something because I'd really like to see you guys. Would a summer reunion of sorts work out? I'm guessing that because there aren't classes it might work out a little better for the Med/Law school crowd, though now that I think about it, it's internship/residency(?) time, so probs not. At any rate, I've been living well within my means, so can easily make a trip or two out east.

Law school updates,
Med school updates,
Real world updates,
go.

All the best,
Sluisy
