Workin hard
So I am in the lab, working on research (FINALLY! I've had a rough few weeks) and my friend Bryan sends me a message. We start discussing, and he realizes that when he googles tiffany chen, my stanford website pops up as 3rd on the list.
What the heck is wrong with my leg?
Just got back from the NLM training conference, which was at the NIH near DC this year. The whole trip was great, because the BMI-ers were able to hang out a bit before and during the conference. With this fun, however, comes a price.
Impractical insomnia.
I should not have coffee. Why oh why did I drink coffee?!
Choosing a Lab
I have not chosen a lab yet.
Most of the BMI first years have, but I'm in a pickle. It is a luxury, I know. All of the labs I have rotated are great, but I still don't feel right choosing one. An excerpt from my confusion lies below, in a gtalk chat with my friend David.
IT IS SO HOT
My goodness, it has reached an incredible 99 degrees here. It's not as bad as North Carolina (HUMIDITY), but not having air conditioning means that sleeping at night semi sucks.
Job/Internships
I used to have a job blog, but that went semi defunct.
Hence, here are the latest and the greatest findings in the computational biomedical community...

Celebratory...changes?
Dinner was great--ended up being 16 people at Buca's, and then we went to fraiche afterwards. The pictures are on facebook, yay! Since it was my special day, I treated myself to...a talk. Heh, I decided to go to a talk by Martha Bulyk, who is at Harvard Systems Biology and a really great researcher/speaker. I made a total fool of myself when I interviewed with her...
I am up now, however, because i can't sleep.
Awesome
Well, I'm at MSOB because I figured I would try to get work done before tomorrow, which I am taking "off" for part of the day. Sort of, not really.
having lunch with Elissa, and treating myself to the fact that I want to go to a talk by Martha Bulyk, because she's super cool....
Awesome morning
I had to document this, and I'm not sure if anyone will find it particularly interesting, but this made my morning. I wake up, and as soon as I sit up my phone rings. I will not document the time at which I woke up, for the simple fact that I am ashamed.
SIGCSE 2008
DR. RODGER IS AWESOME!
She did a great job this year. I will elaborate more about this soon, since I am working on a lot of stuff right now, but the computer science education conference was excellent.
