I'm studying almost every moment of the day right now, and my free time tends toward the extremes no matter what i'm doing.

When i sleep at night, it's either for twelve hours or two.

Some days i eat 3 meals a day (which is unusual for me), others i just drink coffee and diet coke.

I trimmed my hair yesterday morning, then buzzed it down to 1/2" later that day.

But i do take showers regularly. I love showers...i'd take them twice a day if i didn't feel guilty about it.

so i checked into the whole SERS thing. turns out there was a little bit of interest in this awhile ago, but purely to study the scattering charachteristics of small metal particles. because you need the silver monolayer to adsorb to, organics such as cells well be ruined in the process.

i am a grad student in 'photonics' ucsd (san diego). basically laser engineering. did physics in undergrad.

in undergrad i had a problem with too much skewl work. food was pain in the ass cuz it took time to prepare... which i didnt have, asswell as those pesky showers. i really ought to be workin as hard as you, but im past my prime. ima slacker now.
what r u workin so hard on?

oh, it seems there are some tricky prospects for getting cells to adsorb to silver. guess its a bit of a chemistry problem. try and bind organics to metals. sounds pretty tricky, but apparently possible.
