1. What is your blog about?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Bioinformatics, theoretical systems biology, synthetic biology, and my experiences being a graduate student in a multidisciplinary field.<\/p>\n

It’s my chance to see something, think “hey, that’s neat” and then write about it.<\/p>\n

2. What will you never write about?<\/strong><\/p>\n

pass<\/p>\n

3. Have you ever considered leaving science?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yes, last week.<\/p>\n

4. What would you do instead?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Become a yoga instructor.<\/p>\n

5. What do you think will science blogging be like in 5 years?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The division between blogging and open notebook science<\/a> will be less clear.<\/p>\n

6. What is the most extraordinary thing that happened to you because of blogging?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I was stalked on openwetware.
And, I booked a trip to Cromer<\/a>.<\/p>\n

7. Did you write a blog post or comment you later regretted?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Many times.<\/p>\n

8. When did you first learn about science blogging?<\/strong><\/p>\n

On NN last year.<\/p>\n

9. What do your colleagues at work say about your blogging?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I asked my supervisor, before I started the blog, whether he minded, as the blog is not anonymous.
He said “by all means go ahead, but don’t name names.”<\/p>\n

10. How the heck do you have time to blog and do research at the same time?<\/strong> & 11. Extra credit: are you able to write an entry to your blog that takes the form of a poem about your research?<\/strong><\/p>\n

A student who was at Imperial<\/em>
Found that blogging made her such a weary girl<\/em>
She stayed up all night<\/em>
Getting her blog posts right<\/em>
And then fell asleep over her cereal<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n
