Hi, it’s been a while!

I hope that you, the two and a half faithful readers of Baldscientist, are well. All’s better on my side of this life. It has been a difficult year in more ways than one, but things are looking up.

Our “children” (32, 25, and almost 22!) are well, happy, and thriving, Mrs. Baldscientist and I are well (as is our almost 12 year old pupper, Ginger!), and our family is being blessed by someone who I strongly think will be a wonderful Son in Law 😃. I am also happy that my mind is enjoying thinking science again, not as much for work, but for pleasure.

I’d like to, maybe, “ignite” a soft restart of the blog, and perhaps the podcast. I’m thinking short pieces with news about my research and my books (there’s exciting developments in both areas!), and as always, some of my random thoughts lol. Suggestions welcome!

BTW, I left Twi…, I mean, “X” (ridiculous name, I know) for good many months ago, but you may get in touch with me here.

What say you? Should I rekindle our conversations?

Hope to talk soon.

Hugs,

Oné

I am a husband, a father of three, and a baldie, who also happens to be a pretty good (I hope) University Professor and Researcher. My undergraduate degree is in General Science, and my MS is in Biochemistry, both from the University of Puerto Rico. My PhD is in Pharmacology, with an emphasis in Neurobiology, from Cornell University. I love science! (do I really need to say it?) In this blog, I mainly talk about science, especially to non-scientists, but from time to time I explore topics like how is it like to raise a boy with autism, science fiction, education, etc. I am usually able to give these and other topics a scientific twist. I also blog about my favorite (non-human) types of organisms, the flatworms, especially planarians. I use planarians as animal models in pharmacology. If you’d like to see my papers so far, click here. Even though I am well published in scientific journals, I got the popular science writing bug relatively recently. I am a scientist who writes, and I have published three book so far. I hope you enjoy my posts. The opinions expressed in this blog are mine alone. They do not represent the views of my employer, my wife, my children, my parents & siblings, or Chuck Darwin…

  6. As an educator, sort-of-scientist, and general information-loving person, YES, please continue. The Bald Scientist podcast is one of my favorite. I enjoy your insight into the many topics you cover.
