Wow, my uncle works in the same field (Prof of neurology) over here at King's College London. He's currently working on stem-cell research with prof Willmot (the dolly guy, I'm sure you know who I mean) to find a 'cure' for motor-neuron disease.

Good luck. Did you suffer any fall-out from that sketchy Korean Prof being ousted as a fraud?

Nope, I didn't really have any trouble with the fraud claims. The US is pretty restrictive with stem cell research if its human, so I'm forced to work with mice stem cells. I look at endogenous rates of stem cell generation in the brains of adult mice (in the lateral ventricles and hippocampus) in response to environmental or behavioral stressors. Hopefully this would give us some idea as to what endogenous conditions favor stem cell generation so when the time for human trials come success rates will be higher. I've found some interesting things involving stress, caloric restriction, and learning and memory in how they affect stem cell generation.
 

After I pass my last three exams (Mathematics I, Mathematics II, Statistics), I'll get my master's degree in marine fisheries and a bachelors degree in nautics. I really hope this would happen sometime before the end of the year (I suck at maths... hard... :confused: )

And they look just like us. ANYone you know could be a librarian. Be aware.
Too true. Aside from my sister the librarian, one of my closest friends is also a librarian, and another friendly acquaintance is a government documents librarian just like my sister.
I recently found out that my acquaintance and my sister have met (government documents being a very small part of the librarian pond). :D
 

Another librarian here - manager of reference services for a legislative library, formerly a librarian at a couple of public libraries. We should start a librarians/gamers forum here :)

Until last week, I was technically unemployed, and had been so for about 10 months.

I am a game developer. I have worked on one each of a PC title, a PS2 title, and a Gamecube title. None of which you are likley to have ever heard of.

Happily for me, I have recently started a new job. The new job will be doing web based development, with the project scope on a much smaller scale then I am used to. I just recently (as in 2 days ago) started a new job. The only reason i can even post right now is because someone nearby forgot to secure their wireless network.

END COMMUNICATION
