Welcome to Our Blog
Thank you for visiting our website. We are a relatively small lab with big ideas. We are part of a much larger group of investigators known collectively as the LLUMC Molecular Radiation Biology Laboratories. It is our hope that this website will educate, communicate, and incite scientific debate. As the PI of our little group, I hope to post our data and discuss potential mechanisms, consequences, and countermeasures. With a bit of luck we'll all learn something. The links to the left include our merry band as well as collaborating investigators and laboratories. The links to the right include our archive and blogroll. The banner above will always bring you back to the main page page. Take a look around and please feel free to leave a comment on our blog (try to keep it civil and constructive) or shoot us an e-mail. - Michael " Ubertramp " Pecaut

It looks like China is jumping into the space race in a big way. Of course, they released a triumphant press release even before the launch. So who knows if we’ll ever hear what’s really happening up there. But no matter what happens, I look on this as a good thing. Hopefully, with other players in the game that might not always have our best interests at heart, the people making decisions about space-related research will wake up and realize that we can easily fall behind without sufficient funding. Nothing like a little bit of competition to shake things up. I just hope that whoever wins the next election understands this.
BTW, here’s Obama’s Plan. And here is McCain’s Plan.
