Well, I know the murkiness of scientific grants first hand. Looking forward to seeing some of your papers! I see. Well, I know the murkiness of scientific grants first hand.

I suppose that some of the equipment that I used in the lab might have been paid for by Lilly, though.

Big Liberty, I'm not sure where you get the idea that I'm funded by Lilly, because I'm not, nor have I ever been. Right now, my research funding comes from an internal grant at the university where I work. I've also applied for several other grants that I'm waiting to hear back on, but none of those involve funding from drug companies either. And of course, the blog itself has no funding.

I may not always agree with what she says but she always says something that makes me think. From seeing her comments on here La Wade is definitely a smart cookie.

I don't think I've been knee-jerk. I have thought it odd when La Wade has been critical of a few of my posts for being tangential, but that's because I thought tangents were "legal" here.

Some things La Wade says I agree with and some things no. The important thing, though, is I always stop to think about the comments she leaves. Maybe something that is said won't make sense to me in the context it's in, but sometimes I think outside of the topic and can use the information to jump start another thought process. Anyway that's just my overly worded way of saying I'm definitely happy to hear about this new blog. Good luck La Wade! I’m one of those in between people.
