These are some pictures from my graduation. Utah State sure has been good to me and I'm really going to miss Logan.

FBBF Campout 2009

Well, that last slideshow worked pretty well, so we'll try again. This campout was a blast, I'm so glad I got to hang out with my friends again before our big move to MA. This was my first time shooting a shotgun. Yes I nailed some clay targets and yes my shoulder got bruised.

Our Trailer Home

I am trying to play around a bit with slideshows....so here's a test show with a few nice pictures of our trailer home while the flowers were blooming. Nothing better than springtime in a place that has a 6 to 7 month winter!

Human Stem Cell Research

Well, 

As of yesterday I sealed a lab rotation position for the summer.  In July, I'll join Dr. Jane Lian's lab to do research using human stem cells to treat disease.  I'll start out with a week or two of training in mammalian cell culture technique (like how to grow cells in jello without getting it infected with mold), then I'm not quite sure just what research I'll get into.  I do know the lab does work where they use mouse embryonic stem cells to treat mice that have broken bones.  At any rate, I'm really excited to get started and now I feel much less ennui heading into the next month of working full time at a call center where I call people to ask how satisfied they are with their financial advisors (most aren't very satisfied at all!!!).  

So yeah, the readers of this blog may have to endure a few months of gibberish about stem cell research until I finish that rotation in late August. :)
