Looks like I'll be heading back to grad school. All I have to do is apply, and I'll be starting with a research assistantship and program funding in the fall.

Good for you, Kai.  I'm glad to hear you're going for it sooner rather than later.

My dissertation will be dealing with the funded project, which is to say, I really shouldn't say. What I can tell you, is it will be concerning the taxonomy and systematics of a particular group of insects, one I haven't worked with before. Exciting.

Also, thanks for the book recommendation.

If I didn't have a wife and family I'd throw in for a PhD too.  But, I think there would be a family mutiny if I signed up for more school. 

Congrats and best wishes Kai!
