Why?
I changed labs, and I have been working on a new record and a new tour to support the record, which I will do this summer while working in my new lab.
I have re-written a post like 5 times over the past few months about how being a nice person and a successful scientist don’t seem to mix. But I realize that blogging is different than, say a phone conversation or a lunch conversation… your words can be held against you later.
Maybe I have figured out why scientists may be reluctant. Maybe I have already diminished my career. Is this the soft fascism that blogging brings? Who knows? Will my digital trail ultimately be the rap sheet that will be presented in the court of scientific banishment? These are questions we all should ask ourselves while banging away on those plastic keys.
There you are, Michael. I had been wondering. But don’t worry – here at least you are among friends.
Right you are.
Nice to “see” you again, Michael. I am sure that your blog is far more than a moment in crime ;-).
Hi guys, it is nice to know that NN friends have not forgotten about me! Had a rough stretch in there, but things seem to be looking up! I have resisted the urge to jump in on all the goings on with NN and telling us what we can and can’t write…
:)
Hey Michael, the ID photos on NN are so tiny that I can’t figure out which one is you in the photo on your MySpace page…! The guy on the right looks like “Rafa Benitez…”:
Congratulations on your new album – awesome!
Stephen, I am the dude with the sunglasses who looks like he is praying! And thanks for the nod of awesomeness!
Michael, I’m intrigued. Diminished your career? By blogging? But some boats need to be rocked now and again. Don’t despair; you obviously have other talents to fall back on.
