My life while the world spins madly on...

Thoughts arising while working as a scientist or just randomly spinning from my brain.

I don't give a damn, I'm happy as a clam, nobody knows me at all

Moved to a new #lab; #Opera #Wagner #Lohengrin

Although I am cetainly not an expert (actually far from that) the thing with Wagner is, he is out there to kill. I mean I think Mozart is a playful geneious kind of and Verdi has some sweet pieces, but music like in #Lohengrin just explodes on the inside of your head. There is no kidding with Wagner.



On an un-related note, I am in a different lab now. Joined Thomas Wiehe's group, which is working on population genetics using bioinformatics approaches. While my work will still center on broad evolutionary questions and #genomology, I do hope to learn a lot about #popgen.
