After a small amount of persuasion from a friend, I have started a blog. I am currently writing up a PhD thesis which is due in 1.5 months, so this blog will be a deviation from work, but I aim to write about what interests - science and it's place in society.
We live in an arts driven society and most people have very little understanding of what means to be involved in science. Most people will draw a blank when I tell them that I work on influenza and I know after 10 seconds of awkward silence to quickly change the topic to fashion, music, movies or art. So with this blog I will aim to write about things in the world of science that I find remarkable, innovative, conceptually challenging and generally important.
