Restarting

Ha ha... look at that. Over a year without anything! I am freaking amazing at this!

But really though, I do want to try and get into the habit of doing this more. So I'm going to try and do a hardcore stance. As I think I had mentioned in a previous post, I used to have a blog under a different name long ago during undergrad. I'll be reviving that space as my general blog space, used for dream recounts, random thinkings, fun stories, things of that sort. The old posts on there will still remain, despite a few of them displaying some serious drama regarding roommates of the time, because I don't want to seem as if I'm hiding anything - just be aware that I'm not proud of some of those and look back on them with embarrassment (though not all of them). This blog space will be specific for my research and position updates. Now that I'm having a hard look into Ph.D. positions, I'll be gushing about those for some of the first few.

Lastly, if you're more interested in deeper discussions, I'm planning to try and do long posts regarding specific topics where I look into actual data and form arguments from that. This last group will be very slow to come out due to my own real-life schedule and the difficulty in finding and analyzing the data. I already have a few planned out, and in the future these will be categorized more broadly. For example I already have two climate change related topics I want to discuss, specifically the environmental impact of wind turbines and the green tech advances taking place in China.

So more concisely:

My old blog "General Bearings" (used to be "Ramblings of a Young Biologist") will be for random thoughts, dream reminiscing, fun stories, etc. Can be found here.

This blog space will be for my more professional life: current research updates, job opportunities, etc.

The new blag space "Hox Talks" will be for the long-form, in-depth, discussions. Many of these will likely touch on politics, as so many things do, providing policy suggestions based on the data and my own values (I will try to point this out when appropriate). This space can be found here.

Let's see if I can actually keep to any of this, as I have such a long history of doing so.
