I am Jimmy Neutron. I am an old member but new to here. I am from Italy but currently work in the US. It is nice to meet you all here.

Ok, then I will introduce myself as well here

I'm currently doing my master's in bio sciences at the University of Münster, Germany. I am working on plant color genetics with focus on evolutionary aspects of genetic changes. But I'm also interested in host-parasite-interactions. I've worked on immune response of Tribolium castaneum and I'll be spending two months in London this year to work on host-parasite interactions in bees.

This forum seams to be very interesting and I think it's great for gaining some insight into other research fields and methodology

hello everyone! i'm an old member, but rarely posted or visited this site, till a couple of days ago, when i was really stuck on some aspects of methylation studies during my studies. and pcrman and mdfenko really helped me out ! they were so gracious in explaining the answer in an easy to understand way  

i think i will be visiting this place more often ! it seems like a really good place. and quite often when i google up definitions of protocols, the first link is to here  

i'm a phd student in cancer biology. i'm currently studying for my viva.  


ps how come whenever i try to edit "my page" or upload an avator or anything like that, i get an error ?

is the image that you want to upload no more than 20kB and one of these types: gif, jpeg, jpg, swf, or png.

if not then that may be why you are getting that error.

I remember something that you need to have a certain amount of posts to change or edit your profile. However I can be wrong.

maybe. i thought you just had to be registered to add an avatar and to give info about yourself.

we would need to know what the error message said to determine what is causing the error.

Hello!

I'm so glad I found this community.  It's incredibly helpful.

Anyhow, I grew up in very very rural Arkansas, but am now a graduate school refugee working as a research assistant in Washington, DC.  My lab studies mucin biochemistry and gene expression as they relate to chronic ear infections.

I hope that I'll be able to make good contributions to the forum with what experience and knowledge I have -- y'all are great.

Thanks!

It's been my handle for quite some time, and it's easier to remember the one name than a billion on all the sites where I have to come up with a user name. I like onomatopoeia.  

And, hey, eppendorf tubes make that noise, don't they?  It's universally identifiable!
