Shameless plug for my roomate’s new practice that he just started, Horlick Law Firm. While you’ll hopefully never need one, if you do need a criminal lawyer, give Robbie a call.

Friend Prem tearing it up at his Valentine’s day concert with SympVibes.

The audio quality is a bit rough but you can still easily tell that these guys are wicked talented.

So I used to write in this all the time before grad school destroyed the little free time that I have. In an effort to keep this page from dying out I’ve decided to try something different. Recently I’ve found that a lot of people have grown accustomed to checking my gmail chat status every day for entertaining links. While I get almost all of these from surfing the reddit pages on jimmyr, I think I’m going to just start posting the material here as well as best as I can. I’ve had a lot of people ask me for links after I’ve taken them off my chat status so this will be a good way to keep a running list too. Hope you enjoy and hope I can keep this up.

Cheers!

Ivan

While doing some reading for lab I stumbled upon some humorous statements…

It is provocative that downstream from Drosophila segmentation genes, many of which encode homeobox proteins or other transcription factors, are the cell-cell signaling genes such as dpp and hegdgehog that may define segmental boundaries.

…

It is tantalizing that the vulval equivalence group, P3 to P8, is also defined by HOM-C genes and may define a similar signaling domain.

–Ruvkin 1997

I just really don’t find either statement provocative or tantalizing; but then again, maybe I just lack the passion that Gary Ruvkin has for the spatial patterning of the C. elegans nervous system.
