It was what Ham Smith showed later in this talk that let me to dump my PCRs and become a genomic scientist. He showed a list of genomes being sequenced by TIGR and other places (I wrote some but not all down in my notes). 3/n

When I was in graduate school my life and carreer were completely transformed by a seminar I attended at Stanford by Dr. Hamilton Smith. In the talk he discussed how TIGR was sequencing whole genomes of organisms. Here is a scan of P1 of my notes. 1/n

Was at Moss Landing for a project on sea otters. More on that later. I also took tons of pics of terns and I kept just missing them catching food. Or so I thought. I got back this afternoon and discovered this series. I never knew this was in their diet. #Birds

Saw TONS of raptors at Yolo Bypass this weekend. Will post a bunch of pics later. But wanted to share pics of this one American Kestrel. It was definitely putting on a show. It even seemed to want to announce something. #birds
