Quick update from me- All this free time has prompted me to fill it with much business.  Next week I am going to see Nana!  Woohoo!  Hoping to do a little job hunting and a lot of editing while I am out there.  I've got SIX new papers to do- but that's great, cuz I finally got paid!  It's nearly a real job!

I've decided to pick up an extra day of volunteering at the science center for the next month to help with a really cool project the Girls Math and Science Program has coming up.  More on that later.

I've just put up a new "in depth" post on the Steel City Science page about polyomavirus research.  I know!  You couldn't get enough!  Check it out, leave a comment, make my editor think someone is reading.

Tomorrow my old lab is coming over for a long in the works video project- we want to make one of those dweeby science viral videos to post on YouTube.  We've got a great set of parody lyrics and now we need to do voice recording and some storyboarding.  We had planned an elaborate Ke$ha parody, but we actually got scooped by the second year class at the departmental retreat.  How did they pick the same absurd pop song we had planned? They may have won at the retreat, but we will certainly beat them in YouTube hits.
