A momumentous undertaking

This is a space I hope to fill with my collected thoughts on life, literature and the pursuit of a Ph.D. After 8 years of studying science, after hours upon hours of research work in different labs, different states and soon to be different countries I only now have an inkling of what science and the real "pleasure of finding things out" is all about. Curiosity is not a subject taught in the American school curricula and I've managed to maintain mine intact despite all those years of clueless wandering. Hard work and diligence substituted for a real understanding of what the process of discovery encompassed. I'm slowly making my way through the dark forests of ignorance and this blog will hopefully detail that journey.
