As much as I’m trying to focus on finishing my work and writing my dissertation, my ideas for PF related projects keep dogging me.  This month I attended a PF seminar for med students and residents as part of my university committee participation and then had a follow-up meeting on improving the seminar to be given to the grad students next fall.  After that, I couldn’t get my various website and ebook ideas out of my mind.  It didn’t help that I started listening to the Smart Passive Income podcast while doing labwork.  Thankfully, so far I’ve kept myself from actually working on these projects, but they are so tempting!   Kyle got his official offer letter for his postdoc (in his current advisor’s lab, for the short-term).  We’re so glad that the … Read entire article »

This was a rather different week work-wise for me because I decided to almost completely suspend my labwork to start preparing for my preliminary exam!  I set a fairly modest word count goal for each day and loaded myself up with new papers to read.   In addition to our normal activities this week, I also interviewed a prospective student on behalf of my college and Kyle performed a holiday concert with his community band that was amazing!  And did anyone catch the crazy end of the Butler-Indiana game?!  I was happy to see Butler win and to see Indiana lose.  😉  Not that I think our team will go undefeated this year, but it’s nice to outlast some other good teams – we’ll see!   Other than that we’re really just looking forward … Read entire article »
