Teaching Genetics
If you ask me which course influenced me the most during my college years, the answer would have to be Genetics. After all, I went on to get my MS and PhD in Genetics and my current job classification can be broadly defined as a geneticist. For this reason, I got this funny feeling when I was invited to give two guest lectures in the Genetics course at my old department. Was it a sense of pride? Maybe. Can I give those kids some inspiration as I got before? I certainly hope so!
I finished the first lecture today and felt exhausted afterwards. Lecturing for three hours on genome mapping and sequencing certainly is not something that one does for fun on a daily basis. I just hope that at least some kids got something useful out of it. Guess I will know in a couple of weeks after the mid-term...
On a side note, I found students with their laptops a bit distracting as an instructor. Are they so happy because I gave a good lecture? Or they found something funny on Youtube? I don't really know.

Family ride, then and now
Amazing how much has changed in 4 years. When we lived in Athens, our "family ride" involves 2 bikes + 3 child seats:
Apparently the bike seats we got were pretty good, see how David loves them all:
Fast forward to 2011, now it take 10 wheels to get all 5 of us on the road:
The little dude made it to the 5.5k mark this time:
The girls got a bit further with me:
Oh, and this is what happened on our way to dinner:

40k
Rode 40 km along the river in under 2 hours this evening. The weather was a bit windy (18 km/h) but that didn't bother me too much. The last time I rode this far in one go was about 20 years ago (before I have a motorcycle). Very happy that I am gradually getting back in shape.
Spring time at NTU
One of the best things about moving back to Taiwan is that Ann and I get to visit NTU's main campus whenever we want. The place is full of our sweet memories, not to mention how beautiful it is in spring.
