Have had some quality family time in recent weeks, with Mum and Dad having flown over from NZ for a visit. Needless to say, I was completely spoiled: presents from home (mostly Marmite), lots of eating out, and 4 nights up in the highlands courtesy of Dad’s credit card.
Was also quite fun showing them around Edinburgh and taking them on a tour around campus. A particular highlight (for me…at least) was showing them my lab and our fancy new SOLEXA DNA sequencing machine. Although trying to explain how it works and why it is so awesome over dinner that night was a bit more challenging.
So in between dragging them around all the tourist sites in Edinburgh and showing Dad the finer points of british ales I have had little time to read anything going on in the world of science and thus have had a brief hiatus from blogging. But now I’m back, in all my intermittent and semi-regular blogtastic glory.
