Time for Change

Spring is here and as always it is a time for growth, renewal and change. As scientists, we are always seeking new knowledge and trying to grow in our work . In pursuit of this, I am undergoing a major change. I am changing institutions from the University of Texas at Austin, which has been a nice home and a great place to start my career, to New York University, which presents amazing opportunities for me to expand and grow my research. It is wonderful, scary, crazy and exciting all at the same time. For me, the opportunity to be a part of the vibrant biomedical community that is both NYU and New York City was too hard to turn down. It is rich soil, and I think all of us should seek the place where our work, ideas and selves are nourished. I am sure I will have more to share of this journey. The move comes in June 2009 and I will try to share a bit of what it is like to make such a change. Happy Spring.
