The Spring 2012 semester is finally all wrapped up. I got my grades back today and I received an A in CSCIe-131b, my first class toward my ALM. \u00a0I am very excited about this. \u00a0Now I look ahead to Building Dynamic Websites with Professor Malan, and I am looking forward to a challenging and rewarding class.<\/p>\n
I continue to struggle with the desire to focus more on Bioinformatics. \u00a0Having just come back from the Data Science Summit 2012, I am very excited about what the future holds with analytics and Big Data. \u00a0I will have to be content with working in my primary discipline and having to increase my knowledge more slowly over time in other areas such as Life Science. \u00a0I have run the plan over and over in my head on how I could tackle a degree in Biotechnology \/ Bioinformatics, but it just doesn’t make sense for me right now. \u00a0My journey naturally leads me toward Computer Science \/ Information Technology. \u00a0I need to complete that and stay focused. \u00a0So that is the plan. \u00a0That said, nothing stops me from becoming more involved and relevant to a Data Science community and I am looking forward to any opportunities that present itself, particularly a project or area of research in academia that I could assist in.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
