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.

The whole period before finals I basically spent working on grad school essays and applications leaving me no time to study. *sigh* As a result, I ended up bombing all of my finals.
