Wow, I have to take a moment to express my gratitude to several people in the aftermath of last night's post. First of all, I have to thank Dr Christoper Mason, who sent me a text message to correct an inaccuracy in my post, regarding the pace at which genome sequencing halved in cost. Thank you, Dr Mason! Next, I want to thank the awesome Dr Evon Hekkala, who delivered an amazing Secret Science Club lecture back in April 2013. Dr Hekkala suggested that Dr Mason and I exchange contact information and "talked up" my blog... thanks, Dr Hekkala, you have been unfailingly supportive and 100% fantastic. I also want to thank Elisabeth Bik of Microbiome Digest, who sent a link to my blog post via Twitter. I knew something funny was going on when my post counter started "upticking" at 1AM. I have never met Ms. Bik, but count me as a member of her fan club... thank you!
It goes without saying that I am grateful to Margaret and Dorian, who make the whole Secret Science Club experience possible. Thank you one and all!
I knew B^4 before he was famous!

You like me! You really like me!
ReplyDeleteIt's well-deserved notoriety. Your Secret Science posts are always fascinating. It's a rare talent to distill a lecture to a few cogent notes and retain the geeky humor. That's impressive.

ReplyDeleteYou helped put me on the map! Thanks to you too!

Thanks, BP, and you don't even know the amount of booze I drink on these nights!
You're very welcome! If you have more blog posts in the microbiology/microbiome field, let me know by email or leave a comment on my blog. That's the best way to make sure I see it.
