A quick note about the Slidecast I promised. I have the sound track, but recorded it at too high a quality in Audacity, (which is great, in case you haven't tried it) so I need to squeeze it down in size a bit - suggestions welcomed. In the meantime, you can whet your appetite on the slides themselves.

About
I'm a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Liverpool, currently working on marine bacteria and getting myself another job (hopefully permanent). This blog covers my thoughts on the field of microbial ecology as a young researcher attempting to make my way in academia.
Microbial ecology is the study of bacteria, viruses and fungi in the environment and asks of them "so what do you think you're doing?". As a postdoctoral researcher I ask myself "what the hell am I doing".

About Me
Bacteria - 1847, from Mod.L. pl. of bacterium, from Gk. bakterion "small staff," dim. of baktron "stick, rod," from PIE *bak- "staff used for support." So called because the first ones observed were rod-shaped. Introduced as a scientific word 1838 by Ger. naturalist Christian Gottfried Ehrenberg (1795-1876).
