好不到哪儿去

i think that's supposed to mean that it's just not good for you.

垃圾食品。零食。Chinese Snacks! duck neck? chicken feet?! chicken feet, i'm used to. duck neck- i don't recall ever gnawing the neck to extract the meat.

ok, i've narrowed it down (sort of): aids, cancer, development, cardiovascular, neuroscience, stem cell, and virol/immuno. would it be bad of me to email a PI to work in his lab just because he looks like my grampa? he's from hong kong, and he has this really mean look on his face, like he's annoyed with everyone and the world. hmm, maybe that's where i inherited that behavior.

i suppose i'm just going to take a duffel bag with me to LA. pack books and clothes. MUNI to Civic Center, BART to coliseum, and airbart bus to OAK. is that right?! now how much money would that require... 1.50 for MUNI, and how much for BART+airbus?

my internet's messed up. i'll blog later.

that is not narrowing!

I like genetics research - it's sometimes a bit idealistic... but as a result it's very clean. though you'd hav to work with model organisms like c. elegans or drosophila... mice are much more fun and informatve.

i personally like cancer research and developmental research though i'm doing immuno. immuno research is a lot of fun though it's a lot of flow cytometry analysis. also you can approach it through many different types of techniques - like genetics or cellular etc. i think you should do something with clinical overlap bc it'll mean more to you in the end, though not nec clinical research bc we're not exactly as equipped for that yet - i think it's something you'll feel more comfortable doing during/after med school. also ... basic research is more fun ...
