I've started to take the "Writing in the Sciences" course again offered by Stanford university. I'm really hoping to get through it this time and get into scientific writing/blogging. I'm not too sure about what I want to do, and I guess it'd just be nice to keep my options open. I've read some really elegant writing so it is evident that my skills still need some (quite a lot!) of sharpening and there is no better place to begin by taking some classes... and of course to blog and get back into writing.
My blogs have always kinda just been a place to document my thoughts so I think for people out there that may be reading this, it may just be rather boring. Either way it's fine, because it's more for me anyway.
Every few years I'm faced with the option to go out into the real world or stay in academia for a bit longer. I'm not prolonging the inevitable, rather I know that this is going to take me to the path I really want in the end. Getting into the R&D bioindustry and hopefully leading my own team one day. But then I was wondering that if I want to lead my own team, wouldn't it be better to stay in academia because at least you get research freedom?
The other option of course, is to go into scientific/medical writing/editing. Writing has always just been a part-time job for me though... and I think I like freedom in my writing. Actually I think I like freedom period.
Is there really a job where you're free to do what you want to do?

Another one of my favourites. I love this compose (Yuki Kajiura) as I'm sure many anime fans feel the same ^^ Amineteri......

Meeting you was like lighting fireworks, things just started very quickly, spun out of control with all the sparks and fire display and ende...

I keep asking myself lately if I should let you go. And maybe you've been asking that too of yourself? I can't see what's inside...
