It's Miller Time

so my tenure as a roton [rotator] is coming to a close. one more full week of lab work followed by my final chalk talk [i can't even express to you how excited i am to sit in the audience while the new first years give their presentations next year]! this means i have to choose a lab to reside in...which i have done and more importantly the lab has accepted me!
i have joined Chris Miller's Laboratory of Horrors [Chris if you read this i am just kidding don't take it out of me...please?!]. Chris is a HHMI Investigator and was recently [yesterday] elected into the National Academy of Sciences. his work focuses on the basic mechanisms by which ion channels and pumps work along with the workings of other membrane transport proteins. much of Chris' work focuses mostly on CLC type Cl- channels and pumps.
needless to say i am extraordinarily exited about joining Chris' lab because i have a feeling that if he doesn't kill me, i will be a much stronger scientist in the end [and yes there is a distinct possibility of being killed].
for the next week i am mentally preparing myself to be the lowly new graduate student in the lab because i have a feeling that as a roton i was cut some slack, but now as a full fledged member of the lab i am going to have no slack being cut. i am ready to be destroyed.
Chris can rebuild me. he has the technology. he has the capability to build the world's first bionic scientist. kene piasta will be that scientist. better than he was before. better, stronger, faster.
