My Biotech Life

I was tagged by Martin just the other day and now it’s my turn to keeping the blog meme alive by listing 8 random facts about myself.

Update: it seems that I have to set out the rules before posting my 8 random facts. So here they are, stolen from Martin’s site:

1. We have to post these rules before we give you the facts.
2. Players start with eight random facts/habits about themselves.
3. People who are tagged need to write their own blog about their eight things and post these rules.
4. At the end of your blog, you need to choose eight people to get tagged and list their names.
5. Don’t forget to leave them a comment telling them they’re tagged, and to read your blog

Ok, that’s done so here you go:

• I’ve lived in 3 different continents in 3 different countries
• I was run over by a speeding car when I was 16 (compound fracture to my right leg and a hefty piece of glass in my back where now lives a scar)
• I love chocolate-chip mint ice-cream
• I’m a caffeine addict
• I’m a huge football fan (Premier League rocks!)
• I don’t have a drivers license (I can’t believe it either…)
• I have 20/20 vision (even though I spend most of my day in front of a screen)
• My favorite classic music song is Ravel’s Bolero

There you go, 8 non-biotech/science facts about me. Now all I have to do is go tag a couple of my blog buddies.

Ok, so I’m going to or already have tagged Berci from Scienceroll, Hsien from Eye on DNA, Deepak over at bbgm, Pedro at his blog, Marco from dbugs, Steven at The Gene Sherpa, Jason at The Personal Genome and last but not least John Dennehy from The Evilutionary Biologist.

Some have probably already done this, but some may have not. Let’s see how many participate :)
