Microbial Diversity: June 2013
http://microdiv.blogspot.com/2013_06_01_archive.html
Characterization of microbial communities in nature. Saturday, June 22, 2013. Like Farts in the Wind. I recently heard some interesting 2nd hand advice from Matt Welsh. Whose blog has plenty of advice/rants/raves for tenure track junior faculty. Matt ended up leaving academia for Google but with regards to writing grants and getting funding, he's said "Focus on writing papers, send out proposals like farts in the wind"; basically, spam granting agencies without a lot of thought.

IC3, where I am a Co-Director. This is a blog for everyday techies building real systems people use, and their still-with-it-and-technical CTOs.

October 30, 2012. Lessons learned at UWaterloo (2nd part): research organization. Here is the second post about my experience at University of Waterloo. After the ode to the co-operation education program. Here is another positive observation related to research organization. All in one, I have the feeling that the time spent in meetings by researchers in North-America is four times less than their European counterparts. I wish statistics could support this claim. Why so? I found this research organizati...

Peerdal: The misconceptions behind the French FUN-MOOC portal
http://peerdal.blogspot.com/2014/10/the-misconceptions-behind-french-fun.html
October 8, 2014. The misconceptions behind the French FUN-MOOC portal. It is frequent that bloggers start their controversial posts with a disclaimer about how their personal opinion is not necessarily endorsed by their employers. In the case of this post, it is one step further: I am afraid that my opinion is the opposite of my employers' one. And a contribution to two successful. This public (state-funded) project emerges although some private French start-ups (e.g. OpenClassrooms. Days in September 20...

A Blog on Network Management, Operations, Security, and Architecture. Tell Me a Story. May 12, 2010. Commencement time brings commencement speeches; one of my favorite commencement speeches is a speech by Robert Krulwich. At Caltech in 2008, where he discusses the importance of storytelling in science. His speech. Makes a case for talking about science to audiences that may not be well-versed experts in the topic being presented. 8220;What are you working on? Do you care to be understood by average folks?

My Biased Coin: The High Cost of Conferences
http://mybiasedcoin.blogspot.com/2015/07/the-high-cost-of-conferences.html
My take on computer science -. Algorithms, networking, information theory -. Friday, July 03, 2015. The High Cost of Conferences. At some point, I'm convinced the "conference structure" is going to fall apart. At some point, this becomes unsustainable, I think. Perhaps the High Cost of Disorganization. July 4, 2015 at 11:06 AM. Are flights really that expensive if you buy them in the US? July 4, 2015 at 12:48 PM. I was surprised that even your travel is subject to the US-carrier-only restriction. I t...
