Well, I am getting adjusted to life in my new postdoc location. Last week was mostly spent unpacking and getting various things started. My apartment is in decent shape, but there are plenty of things that have just been moved out of sight until I figure out where to put them.
On campus, I had my first real meeting with my new PI yesterday. He's a nice guy and we discussed several things I can work on now, to get my feet wet. Nothing seems to be over my head thus far. I'm looking forward to checking out some new software tools, but I have to make sure and get my last PhD paper done, with respect to the reviewer comments I've got...it needs to be submitted by Monday or else I return to the back of the line. Gah...and I haven't received any feedback from my PhD advisor on it. Well, if I answer the last two questions, I'm not waiting past the deadline for comments.
Recently I read two interesting posts that I want to keep track of. This commentary on the viewpoints of a journal editor is good to keep in mind. Aside from commenting on some bad practices in a post-publication survey, I haven't pestered on time to review or rejection. I guess it isn't a surprise that some people don't have any patience.
And, I like this presentation on how to get non-scientists interested in science. We need to keep the next generation interested.
