Learning Curve
The best/worst feature of blogging is probably the public comments. It’s just great to hear what people think and to share ideas, provided they aren’t incredibly rude flamethrowing trolls.
While our blog isn’t exactly ruling the world yet, we have had a few comments posted, mostly between members of the HHMI group. Unlike the posts, comments are moderated before they go up, just to avoid trouble. One student, however, was a little quick on the ‘approve’ button this week and got a rude surprise when she saw what the porno spam-bot had sent her page.
It’s all part of our grand learning curve…

yeah…I learned my lesson, Karl! I never knew about this blog. For some reason, I thought that your blog was the one on the front page. The HHMI blogs are very accessible. An undergrad who will be working here in the fall just googled “Kirby lab” and found my page and commented. anyway, thanks for helping me with the situation today!!
