My Life is Crap

Rolling with the Punches

Today, I found out I have to move my lab bench and the reason for the move is generally unnecessary so it annoys me. I am going to have to move and reorganize all of my stuff and settle into a new system I was fine and dandy with before having to move.

A lot of things have been changing lately. I'm not typically a big fan of change but I have always regarded myself as someone who is rather adaptable. The changes are nothing too horrible but the accumulation of generally undesirable changes has started to get a little much for me. This was my motivation for getting a color and cut out of the norm. And with my wonderful cousin getting married in a few weeks, I thought this was the opportune time. I made a change that was fully under my control that I knew I would be happy with. I now have rose gold hair and bangs (I feel so much more like me with bangs)!

One step at a time I am adapting to all these changes and doing my best not to lose it (I've had a few close calls). So, what I hope will come from this shift in view of the lab while doing my work, will be a shift in successes toward my dissertation so as not to be for nothing.

Hot damn Darwin, you might be onto something. Let's do this!

204 years ago Charles Robert Darwin was born and the life of one of the most influencial men in science began.  Today, we celebrate the life of the man who first described natural selecton in relation to biological evolution and express our gratitude for the enormous benefits that his scientific knowledge has contributed to humanity simply because he ventured to think outside the box.  Its Darwin's ingenuity and human curiosity  that has allowed the sciences to expand in the way they have the past 150 years.  When Darwin was alive, there was a lot of controversy and speculation behind his ideas (even now there are still a lot of people out there who think Darwin is a total quack, but those people are actually the ones quacking) but it is the questioning of and act of building on his ideas that has made such an impact on scientific thought.  The Origin of Species, The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals and, The Descent of Man and Selection in Relation to Sex (quite the racey title for 1871, huh?) allowed scientists to think of nature in a way they had never thought of before and build on new ideas of what nature was and can become.  Darwin may not have been entirely correct with all of his theories but we cannot be anything but greatful for what he gave to the scientific community, and that's innovation.

Happy Birthday Big Guy!
