More posting soon.

Sorry for the brief hiatus.  Many urgent tasks (e.g., proposal deadlines, prep for semester, grad admissions).  Suggestions for forthcoming topics are always appreciated.  Coming up in future installments:  "When does water become wet?", "What is a phase?", "What are liquid crystals?", and "Centers, Institutes, and all that".

Your take on the future of science funding in the US?

Tahir, I'll see what I can do. Nanobio is a bit outside my real expertise, though I do have some impressions as an informed outsider.
