back to life, back to reality


I had to take a break from the written word, after my short personal contribution to the abuse of science...Hence the silence.
With my thesis out of the way, I have the viva exam on it next week. Re-reading the stuff has been stressful to begin with but it's growing on me.
Deciding what to do with the rest of my life appears to my problem of the month. Academia or industry? This research group or another? Greece, UK or somewhere else?
Dunno really and sadly my dirty old grandad is dead for a few years now, and I have found none else that can give sounder advice than his. My favourite quote is: "shit always floats", something that has been verified every single day of my life: especially the golden rule of sleeping your way through a degree and a PhD, even if you have shit for brains. What can you do...Unfortunately, I had to do it the hard way.
