Orientation Week
larger view Orientation Week went well. I am the new Graduate Programs Director--and my mission is to help students and advisors achieve the productivity and education possible. I am working on examining how to allow other units to take credited hours within Informatics.

I introduced myself three or four times--we'll see if the students remrember me. As of yet, I do not have an AI for my Honors I101--which is a bit distressing--I hope for a good resolution. I just got my I519 AI.

I advised the first year MS students (whom I blame for my flu). I also helped with PhD students, but met with Geoffrey during the second year MS students.
Our Center for Bioinformatics Research Center has been just approved--so I'm eager to get started. Yu-Wei is back from China, but need to see Trent and Michael. Jim's marriage was a wonderful event and I was honored to be among the few who were at both the ceremony and reception. Linda, a close friend, bet me a dark chocolate bar about someone not attending--she was right, but to much chagrin. It was great to see Andy who brough green tea. So I'm set for a month or so. I believe the days I will be in Biology will be TWR.
I will contact Justen and Jim on this. I have finished the H101 and I519 courses (to the left) and have remaining the capstone.


I'm eager to resume my quantitative modeling of disease and working with Dirk at MeadJohnson. I am also completing parts of a data mining book glycomics with Haixu and Yehia. I am working on finishing my I101 text before it goes into oblivion. I miss Bill a lot. I do still sometimes thing about my insect friend too.

I finished the book The Man who Mistook his Wife for a Hat
