As a scientist, you are told to write everything down. Record anything you see, even the most mundane of details because you never know when you may need it. Better to write it down and not need it, than to not write it down and need it. I have been telling myself to start a blog for a few years now. Isn't it important to write even if you are not a scientist? This will serve as my "digital" journal. A place where I can write.......just to write. Somewhere I can revisit and find that piece of information that will make my students better. They say the first word is the hardest, but I have gotten it down. Here is to many, many more!
