My own journey to science: Selecting a supervisor/lab
2007-10-18 11:14:00 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 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.
