I’m on my way to London. Two reasons: to brave the leeches (estate agents) and to start my new job on Monday. <\/p>\n
\nFor those of you who don’t know\/haven’t been listening, the new gig is at the Faculty of 1000<\/a>, which can be described as a biomedical literature fitering service. If you want to quickly get at the important and exciting papers in the biological hegemony F1000 should be your first port of call. I’ve been tweeting<\/a> some of the reviews we’ve published, and hopefully I’ll soon be keeping a shiny new weblog to keep you informed of what we’re doing to make the world a better place. <\/p>\n \nEnough advertising. I’ll still be here, and yes Cath, it’ll still be called ‘The Scientist’. I did toy briefly with the idea of calling this bar ‘The New<\/em> Scientist’ — and both ‘The Publisher’ and ‘The Web 2.0 Maven’ lightninged across my tortured cerebellum — but I decided to stick with elegant minimalism. Quiet in the cheap seats, Henry. <\/p>\n \nI feel that although I did wander into science almost by accident, I have always been a scientist and always will be, even if I don’t actually work at the bench any longer. This new vocation is one I’m choosing<\/em>, but that doesn’t change who I am; just as I know I’m a writer and a poet, despite hordes of angry LabLitters baying for my blood –or at least my ink. <\/p>\n \nSo. New challenges, new opportunities; and yes, I’m very excited. Apparently, because all the staff that were related to BioMed Central have now left, my desk is in an otherwise empty bay, facing the window. I’m looking forward to it, and I’ll tell anyone who cares to listen all about it on Monday evening after we’ve goggled at Experimental Heart<\/em> at Fiction Lab (you are all coming, aren’t you?). <\/p>\n \nNow, about that house…<\/p>\n I’m on my way to London. Two reasons: to brave the leeches (estate agents) and to start my new job on Monday. For those of you who don’t know\/haven’t been listening, the new gig is at the Faculty of 1000, … Continue reading
