2007 - There she goes…
And that’s it, 2007 is gone and what a ride it was. This past year was amazing and 2008 has everything lined up to be a bigger and better year.
Over the last 12 months so much has happened that I’m still dumbfound at the amount of people I’ve made contact with, the number of doors that have opened and the progress I’ve made academically…
2007 was the year of the DNA Network, a community of Biotech, Genetics, DNA and Health related blogs founded by Hsien-Hsien Lei from Eye on DNA and myself. It’s been growing at a healthy pace (40 blogs so far!) and the members joining us have contributed with fantastic content and knowledge in their areas of expertise.
Working as a part-time freelancer, I got involved in a bunch of great projects with some very interesting and talented people (some are now members of the DNA Network!) and produced a few logos, some small websites and helped out wherever I could.
Two examples of science related logos produced this year that received quite some feedback where the DNA Network and the Gene Genie logos (see below).
Academically I achieved close to all of the milestones I had set to hit. I completed a truck load of classes and got the oh-so-complex biological industry group project handed in on time.
The end of this year was specially different since I moved out my apartment near campus and came back home (700km away!). I’m just a couple exams and a 6 month internship away from concluding my degree (finally!)
Obviously there was much more to this year. A lot of emailing, chatting, Skyping, networking in general and above all, learning from it all.
Some of the events that took place this year opened doors to many new and fantastic things that will certainly take place in 2008.
I can only wish that everything goes as well as last year and that all those that I’ve made contact with achieve everything they aspire for.
2007 was great but I can bet that 2008 is gonna be a beauty!
