Philippe's Expérience Note

最近開始重新的寫C++ code...哀幾乎都忘光了!
寫了一年perl現在要寫C++真的得花時間在K一下code

離開Sinica已經有9天了!
懷念下午喝咖啡及chatting的日子

今年的路跑活動就在12月21日的2008Taipei ING Marathon畫下句點，感謝一路支持我的Academia Sinica Team(Ay、羿喬還有實驗室的同事)、Gina、Dumpling、James、Paul等等。

We currently have room in the lab for more graduate students. Before you apply to this lab or any other, there are a few things to keep in mind. First, be realistic about graduate school. Graduate school in biology is not a sure path to success. Many students assume that they will eventually get a job just like their advisor's. However, the average professor at a research university has three students at a time for about 5 years each. So, over a career of 30 years, this professor has about 18 students. Since the total number of positions has been pretty constant, these 18 people are competing for one spot. So go to grad school assuming that you might not end up at a research university, but instead a teaching college, or a government or industry job. All of these are great jobs, but it's important to think of all this before you go to school.

Second, choose your advisor wisely. Not only does this person potentially have total control over your graduate career for five or more years, but he/she will also be writing recommendation letters for you for another 5-10 years after that. Also, your advisor will shadow you for the rest of your life. People will always think of you as so-and-so's student and assume that you two are somewhat alike. Finally, in many ways you will turn into your advisor. Advisors teach very little, but instead provide a role model. Consciously and unconsciously, you will imitate your advisor. You may find this hard to believe now, but fifteen years from now, when you find yourself lining up the tools in your lab cabinets just like your advisor did, you'll see. My student Alison once said that choosing an advisor is like choosing a spouse after one date. Find out all you can on this date.

上週五中午(12/12)，Dry Lab. and Wet Lab. 大聚餐
主要慶祝阿忠考上公務員、Ponda考上調查局、我考上研究所

自從上個月分生所發生火災後，這個月6號行政大樓總辦地下室也發生火災...

今天中午我在GRC又聽到消防車的警鳴聲，心想該不會有是哪邊失火了吧!
最近研究院的"火"事真的還蠻不平靜的!!

昨天心血來潮把我的Powerbook帶出門，沒想到...開機沒多久就它自己進入休眠狀態(在充飽電的情況)
查了一下，原來我的Battery health: 23~28%；cycles: 18 times
打電話詢問apple care，新電池一顆要價4000多...難道我的小朋友要出走了嗎！！嗚～

不經意在ptt上面看到這篇文章，真的是太好白爛也太好笑了!

磷酸化是蛋白質中最重要的後轉譯修飾之一，它參與各種不同的生物訊號傳遞的路徑。在傳遞路徑中，蛋白質的磷酸化與去磷酸化反應為真核細胞提供了調控機制，控制了許多酵素和受體的活化與抑制。

磷酸化（Phosphorylation）或稱磷酸化作用，是指在蛋白質或其他類型分子中加入一個磷酸（PO4）基團，也可定義成「將一個磷酸基團導入一個有機分子」。此作用在生物化學中佔有極重要地位。

自從甄試上交大生資所後，我就一直在煩惱我的指導老師要選誰，實驗室很多學長、學姊推薦我找某某老師；但我卻忽略掉自己要的是什麼，當初走生資應該不是只有為考研究所，而是做研究的樂趣及做自己所喜愛的工作。

很高興有湯老師這麼一位好的老師，每次與湯老師閒聊，心中總有一股新的力量與新的想法，讓我在迷惑時、猶豫不決時，適時的給我方向，他的"澳式"做研究與人生觀真的深深的影響我!!

今天中午收到路跑協會的公文封，打開才發現是個意外的禮物，跟獎牌一樣值得紀念

Doyle Dykes之所以能成為鄉村民謠風格指彈演奏的旗幟性人物，是因為他有著自己的獨特技巧，急速的琶音和輕鬆自如的快速音階，結合有律動的鄉村節奏使他的音樂層次感豐富，很難想像這是一把吉他彈出的音樂！

看過他彈奏就會知道他的厲害!!

在Google Docs上利用多人分享的功能來創作pixel圖，真的很有創意!!

你應該知道的咖啡

尼莫拉牧師的墓誌銘

老弟甄試成大的航太所，通過第一階段書面資料審查
這週五要去面試，希望他面試順利!

The anti-SD sequence (the 3’end sequence of 16S ribosomal RNA) will pair with the SD sequence (5’ untranslated region) for the precise translation. This binding interaction will form a “correct” translational initiation complex in e coli system. In the paper, we have found there are many questionable 16S ribosomal gene annotations based on ambiguous sequences. Such wrong annotation have already blurred the accuracy of present database.

我很幸運的以正取第二甄試上交大研究所
謝謝大家的關心及支持

麥克克萊頓是我最喜歡的一位科幻小說作家之一
聽到他過世的消息真的令我震驚
他許多小說陪我度過很多站哨及失眠的夜晚
