What kind of progress, exactly?

... Trumpet sound...Ta Da! My first official post. Imagine a brass ensemble in the back ground. Can you add music or any kind of sound to a blog? Before I answer the teaser title above, I want to introduce myself. It will make a lot more sense then.

My name is Daisy and I am a graduate student. I am finishing up my PhD in molecular and cellular biology. My thesis work focuses on genomic instability in diploid yeast using Loss of Heterozygosity. That is for those who care. I do not intend to blog about science, only about trying to finish it.

I knit with a group of gals (all scientists) almost daily. Emily has her own blog on our exploits, so I'll put a link to that as soon as I get around to figuring that out.

Once the PhD is finished I will be moving to Homewood, California on the west shore of beautiful Lake Tahoe. My husband, Tim, and I have purchased a nice house. The house needs a lot of work so we have a big remodel in front of us.

This blog will chronicle my Progress in many things including, but not limited to:
-finishing up the PhD
-knitting projects and progress
-the house in Tahoe and the remodeling project it brings
