nano-Energy

I'm a bad, bad man.

I haven't posted here in too long. My threats to post interesting photos are lame...

So if you're not reading this, I don't blame you.

... HOWEVER, in my defense, I've been to job fairs, I've honed and re-honed my resume numerous times, I've been diagnosed with an inguinal hernia (no worries, mine's not too painful), I've experienced frustration & convenience within the world that is Tokyo health-care, and I've been trying to keep up with Japanese lessons and research all the while. You can try to make me feel guilty about not blogging, but it probably won't work.

To tide you over, check out an interesting whitepaper that does a fair job explaining what's important to many scientists these days. I'm very happy to field questions about it; to me it reads like a newspaper, but I admit my perspective is one from the inside... In fact, I'm curious what parts you find particularly sci-gibberish-y. (Please comment!)

Section 2.5 is especially relevant to my general area of research. You're allowed to skip over technical bits. In fact, I skipped over most of the "mineral extraction" sections--the author obviously needs to mention that due to his university. (Not to say it's not as important as Energy--it's all related--rather I don't know much about it.) ... Anyway, the author often gets back to general, overall info before and after new section headings.

That's all for now. Probability of future posts with analysis of Tokyo health care is rather high.

Sincerly,

Your non-diligent author, currently letting it all hang out. (.. of his lower abdominal wall)
