I haven’t been writing often here recently partly because of my busy schedule and partly because of the fact that I am writing more often in my Persian blog and have been busy setting up my new Photoblog. Now that the Photoblog is set and running I’ll write here more often I thought I definitely [...]

Well, honestly sometimes if there was no hope of one (or a few) cold beer after work scientific work could’ve been much more difficult don’t [...]

Sometimes my friends who are not in the field of science ask me what is a PostDoc! Well I finally found the perfect answer for these questions! Watch the series of PostDoc comics in PhDcomics to see what I mean comic1; comic2; comic3; comic4. I had also previously posted a comic from PhD comics here.

Well it seems that this comic explains why DNA, Collagen and alpha helix are all right handed. Take a look at Madeline’s comic page you can find other funny scientific comics.

Those of you who have something to do with biology know the importance of PCR in molecular biology today, for those of you who don’t know what Polymerase Chain Reaction is (or don’t care), in short one can say PCR did the same thing to Molecular Biology research that Transistor did to electronics! This is [...]

This is so true so I also say: Happy make-your-kids-into-greedy-little-materialistic-consumption-addicts Day!  I’m on holidays! Cheers
