Is that your way of saying you are quite familiar with protein structures?

I probably don't know as much about them as you do, granted the allusions to things I have only come across a few times (had to google 'em) but it is a fascinating subject.

OOH I researched mad cow disease for a school project last year! But the research was very rudimentary, so I don't know how prions work specifically, i.e. how exactly they cause other proteins to change shape and cause diseases.

You should watch this documentary if you haven't already: [Link To Video] :nerdy:

Doesn't go into detail on the science involved, but I got curious about the subject after the first time I watched it.

I'm late for attendance here, sorry

The one great thing about being a thread killer is that you can delete your posts a few days later if you want to.
I've been doing that lately. :alien:

Same here. I get irascible when I find I can't delete a post that I'd like to delete, so I just edit it into oblivion instead.

Me too. The worst is when someone else quotes before I get a chance to edit.
Nice to know we're not alone....so many thread killers here.

I've had that happen before, but mostly it's the posts nobody replies to that really bug me.

What happened to your avatar, by the way? I just noticed it's missing.

I have moments of extreme self doubt and embarrassment. Sometimes I wish I could erase my profile and start all over here.... somehow I feel smaller and less visible without an avatar.
: )

I'll find a new skin soon.

You shouldn't feel that way - I always enjoy reading your posts. I liked the old avatar, too. I have the same problem though, so I should probably listen to my own advice.

I still have all of my old avatars....I'm starting a collection *L*

I like all of your avatars too... the curled vine and these painting ones, they're very intricate and soothing colors.

Shhhh... don't tell anyone.

Thanks - it's been a weird birthday. It was yesterday. My mom sent me a fossilized trilobite she found in Arizona. She always gets the best gifts (no sarcasm). She also found me a fossilized dino-dropping for Christmas. :lol:

I have a weird family.

And about my last avatar; thanks: I just thought it had too much contrast-- I stupidly forgot to save the psd, so I couldn't fix it without ruining it or remaking it from scratch. :cry:

It still has dirt all over it.

I showed my sister and she said, "Eew, mom's weird. Why'd she send you a dirty insect?" I said, "Trilobites are not insects! They're arthropods." :roll:

My mom's really the only interesting one of the bunch. :lol:
