weird science

After some careless consideration, I have applied to become a member of the Society for Neuroscience. Another stepping stone towards the bowels of hell, i.e., I can't escape this specialty.

Other thoughts to consider:
Food Science- M.S./Ph.D. programs. UC Davis has one, as well as CalPoly.

Culinary School- the CIA. The one in Hyde Park is ranked 1st in the U.S., while the one in Napa Valley is 14th. Not bad for either. What's ranked 2nd? Texas Culinary Academy in Austin, Texas. Focus? Product development, food chemistry. HAHA! There's actually a place called the sushi chef institute! A very stereotypical name: Chopsticks Cooking Centre in Hong Kong. Terrible.

Neuroscience/Marine Science- Ph.D. I think the better Marine Science programs are over on the East Coast (Woods Hole, places in Massachusetts, Duke, NY), but there are a few gems over here at USC and UCSB, I think. Why marine science? I like the sea. I like fish. Fried, grilled, steamed, you name it.

New food ventures: Wasabi flavored potato chips, by Jim (Yeah, that's the brand name), and an Indo Mi Goreng substitute, available now at most American convenience stores, i.e., NOT chinatown.
