I haven't blogged in a while. Although I could discuss all the different types of research I've been doing, or the amount of work we've all been putting in for being TAs, i'm going to focus instead on random things I've cooked in the last month--mostly simple dishes, but still, for some random reason, i decided to take pictures.

After this quarter is over, if this blog is still going, I'll try to document more of what is going on in my life.

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.

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.

I should not have coffee. Why oh why did I drink coffee?!

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's not as bad as North Carolina (HUMIDITY), but not having air conditioning means that sleeping at night semi sucks.

Hence, here are the latest and the greatest findings in the computational biomedical community...

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.

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....

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.

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.

Okay so apparently in RMySQL you have a difference between SendQuery and GetQuery, such that you have to do something after you do SendQuery.

I don't know if that makes any sense, but I have wasted many hours on this.
