Hello World!
Originally from the UK, I now live in the north of Sweden with Crickson
We are scientists :)
I also knit, bake and play the recorder, but not all at once.

Science resources:
Want to find out about proteins? Try this for starters -
RCSB Protein data bank: Molecule of the Month in alphabetical order
Want to find out what is known about any particular gene? Here's a good place to start. -
Entrez Gene This is probably my favourite starting point for finding out about a new gene of interest and has handy links to most of the references and sequence information.
Want to find a piece of peer-reviewed scientific research? Want to check the references from an article, or look up the publication record of an expert quoted in a newspaper or blog piece? Try this database. It will give you the abstract (outline) of every paper and will link to the full thing and tell you which articles are free and open-access. -
NCBI's PubMed All newly published research is quickly added to this site.
Want to be able to decode DNA? This is how DNA codes for protein, and is, to my eyes, a thing of beauty. -
The Genetic Code (presented here as RNA. For DNA, simply replace the U's with T's (Uracil with Thymine)).
And for geeks who need to get out more :) -

Spiderbaby says:
I particularly like the rhyming of "wondrous charms" with "rich alluvial farms". People rarely express such sentiment for Lincolnshire, which I think is rather a shame.
Caine says:
It is considered very old fashioned to wax poetic about a place these days; it's too bad. Maybe if it were in fashion, people would have more of a care about the environment in general.
crickson says:
I'm trying to imagine what I'd write for west essex...
"Oh Essex where the dogs roam free;
On the council estates of thee..."
Spiderbaby says:
That's a good point Caine. Perhaps that could be a good topic for a competition? Maybe it's been done before though.
Crickson - I think you'd better stop there!
MandyP says:
I have to say, I've never heard the term, "rich alluvial farms," used to lovingly. That's kind of great.
