In the immortal words of Professor Farnsworth, "Good news, everyone!"
I'm entering the world of meaningful employment. For those of you who are curious, I will be a Ph.D Student in the Experimental Oncology department of the University Hospital of Bern, Switzerland.
My project will, in a beginning phase at least, involve a lot of genomic work on malignant lymphomas. The aspect I find particularly interesting is that I shall be conducting my research in part with tissues from actual human patients.
