Clownfish are terrible.  Finding Nemo was just pure propaganda.

I'm home now. It's been the longest day of my life, lasting from approximately 9pm Saturday night to 6 pm Monday morning, Portland time, with intermittent light napping.

I got in at 8:40 this morning and went promptly to my classes. Woot. Cell bio is gonna be hard.  may have bitten off more than I can chew with microbial metagenomics. We'll see.

It's really cool! So, you're familiar with genomics, I'm sure... the study of an organism's genome? Well, a metagenome is the collective genome of a community of organisms, binned by function. It's seriously some of the coolest science I've come across so far, and has massive, massive ramifications not only for ecological and biomedical research, but also potentially for industrial biosynthesis.

It is essentially taking one step back and looking at an ecosystem as a functioning organism with its own genome.

I can grasp the concept, I think.

I think that tomorrow I will probably go to the doctor about the weird rash on my hands.
