| My own journey to science: Selecting a supervisor/lab |
| 2007-10-18 04:14:00 |
Busy, busy, busy! I have not had time to blog because I have been very busy with a paper that we have just submitted. My first! And then there is always the “administrative stuff” to deal with.As a Phd student in Sweden, I have to submit my individual study plan to the faculty for review every year. An individual study plan is somewhat like an appraisal (as in regular jobs) where you describe your work and achievements for the year and state your plans for the future etc. Well, as I was completing my study plan, I realized that I have yet to give a proper introduction to myself on this blog. I would say that I formally started in science about ten years ago, after my secondary education. It is interesting that I very nearly went into something el...

| Sharing Life Experiences: Making time to write! |
| 2007-10-05 04:46:00 |
I wonder if I will be able to write as often as I had originally envisioned. Of course, I don't want to start a blog and then have only the blog title sitting around for blog eternity. But my real motivation for blogging is because I want to share my life experiences as a traveling young scientist with other scientists and others from different walks of life. I won't be the first (nor the last) to say this — the blogosphere has transformed the way in which the world exchanges information, and hence the way the world works. Blogs serve us well. For scientists, blogs provide yet another avenue to network with one another and exchange opinions, findings, and experiences. Blogs are easy to set up and use, free of charge (free blog providers include Blogger, Xanga, WordPress, LiveJournal to name a few), offer flexibility in design and most importantly, the reach of the blogosphere is virtually unlimited. However, even with the ease of use, I am finding it difficult to write regularly. I am sure some of you feel the same way. After a long and hard day's work, it can be difficult to find the energy to blog, especially if you also have a family. I am now in the midst of attending Phd compulsory courses so this is an especially busy time for me as I work overtime to stay on schedule with my experiments. Another possible reason could be that I am not used to blogging. This is something that I think can be overcome. If you feel this way, just focus on what you wish to share, instead of the pressure that others might not like what you write.If you havn't tried blogging, maybe you should! You never know, you might just enjoy it. I do!
