Well, there certainly has been a big ol’ gap in blog
posts here! But, it has been a wild and
crazy time-- I've made huge leaps in my life.
And, of course, big leaps take up lots of relaxing blogging time. Since I last posted, I have decided it was
time to move home to the USA, successfully mounted a job search, settled into
the number one state I wanted to be in, and am now working as a staff scientist
in a small research device company in rural USA. I even get to do science blogs as part of my
job! All told, I am so happy to have
lived in a city outside of my home country (and way outside of my comfort zone J),
and oh so happy to be home.
I have such strong feelings about the last four
years that it’s hard to figure which to tell you about first! But the main thing is this: perspective. This February, I moved home to essentially
the very same place I felt I needed to move from four years ago. And through myriad and truly ridiculous
amounts of challenges, I managed to make some really great friends from all
over the world, get to know a fun city full of awesome FOOD, and learn some absolutely
instrumental troubleshooting skills, in life as well as science. Everything looks different now; I think Montreal
gave me some extra power.
I can’t wait to keep adding to the blog, and you’ll
be hearing lots more from me soon!! Oh,
and Charlie Murphy is equally excited.
