Grad Diary 1/19/10

Today's virology seminar aptly summed my current feelings regarding my lab rotations. I have found that, even with only a week or so into Jian's lab, I am really enjoying my time here and the interactions I've been having with everyone in the lab. I am wondering if this lab will become a strong contender against Una's lab, which I have, up to this point, been so sure I was going to join.

At virology seminar I walked in with Jian and we sat near the front. Una happened to walk in a bit late (and she almost never goes to these seminars) and since we were in the front, sat on my other side. I was literally caught between two PI who I know would love to keep me in their lab. It was really ironic, and this irony was not lost on the rest of Una's lab, who were also in attendance.

I am trying to remain honest to both PI's by indicating my interest in each lab, but I foresee my thesis lab decision to be a bit harder than I initially anticipated. We shall see...
