First Post

This post is intended to test the interface for generating as well as test the layout for when posts appear. As well as test my ability to insert raw html into the page! While I started this blog in response to a class but this has been something I have been interested in doing for awhile. My undergrad in clinical lab science and masters in bioinformatics taught me a lot of technical skills, however the ability to communicate my ideas, outside of formal science writing, has been left wanting. I am excited to use this as a forum for discussion and debate about the a variety of topics as well as to respond to posts around the web. My spelling and grammar are always a work in progress, so I will apologize in advance. Thanks for reading and please join in the conversation.
