Returning to the Face of the Earth

Yeah, I know it's been over a week since my last post. I don't need you to remind me. I've been busy reading really bad writing grading lab reports. I can't write for shit, so if I think your writing sucks, you've gotta be a really bad writer, and you need to learn how to write . . . really kick ass run on sentences. Thankfully I'm done with my teaching/grading responsibilities for the year. That means more time for research. And blogging. Real science posts will begin appearing on Sunday and continue through the rest of the week. If anyone out there cares.
