I spent some of today poking around looking at whether it would be possible to become more involved in bioinformatics. I figure that I know a lot of biology and a bunch about software so why not look at bioinformatics. I also was interested because I know that BU has a program in a convenient location.

One site was saying that it is the new rocket science field. The due date for trying to enroll for next fall in 2005 is to apply by December 15th. That could be too soon to apply but maybe it isn't? Part of why I looked at the program was because I looked at hotjobs and I saw a pretty cool looking job at MGH as a program manager but they were looking for ten years of experience or a PHD.

I am not sure I am ready for six years of education but it isn't a bad thing to do if nothing else is blowing me away as super interesting to spend my time on.
