In March, I moved to Golden (Colorado) after I finished my thesis at UCSB. I was certainly sad to leave Santa Barbara — my friends at school, the great running community, the all-the-time sunshine, the bike riding lifestyle, the beautiful oceans and mountains. I also found it difficult to leave my work in the lab [...]

Academic injury

I pulled an all-nighter last Thursday night to try to get my thesis finished by my 29th birthday (Friday). I haven’t done that since high school. Needless to say, it wasn’t the best birthday, but hey, I eventually got what I wanted – A FINISHED PRODUCT! It may have only been only [...]

Chapter 6: Overview
Regulation of ADAR1 is a complex process involving multiple promoters [115, 120, 121], alternative splicing [115, 117], SUMOylation [131], and presumably proteolytic degradation [123]. During our study of ADAR1 biology, we learned much more about how ADAR1 is regulated and processed. This chapter describes a diverse range of experiments that [...]
Not blogging but still writing

I haven’t had time to blog in a long time. But I have been doing a lot of writing. Writing can sometimes be very soothing. Other times it gives you a buzz. But right now it is driving me absolutely crazy. Here is a sample:

I like to draw, and as the daughter of a music teacher, I think that I am somewhat musically inclined. I enjoy writing, and feel that I have a deep appreciation for music, journalism, and film. But by no means have I ever considered myself an artist.
Recently, however, I came up with a [...]
I Think I’ll Try Myself at Cycling…

It’s been 3 months now since my last run. My foot feels like it’s on the mend, but the tenosynovitis is really persistent. Some days it feels almost normal, but other days I question how I ever ran with this injury. The physical therapist is encouraging me to try it out a [...]
Things Don’t Always Go As Planned

First of all, I’d like to thank all of my readers — especially those who have encouraged me to write (Jim K., George W., my uncle Bruce and aunt Patti, etc.). I am sorry that I’ve been out of touch. I guess you can say that I’ve been somewhat uninspired lately, as my [...]

Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. It’s not as stressful as Christmas, when we’re usually traveling hundreds of miles to see family, but it’s a big enough deal that we make a point of doing something fun. In years past, we’ve done some great camping trips in Big Sur or Death Valley or the [...]

Anyone have any thoughts or experiences, good or bad, that they would like to share about cortisone injections?

Well, it’s been almost 5 weeks since St. George and I’m still hardly running. My injuries are teasing me — they disappear when I don’t run, making me think that they’re gone and that my body is ready to start again. So I’ll try running a few miles, easy, but then pay for it by [...]
