da: A smiling human with short hair, head tilted a bit to the right. It's black and white with a neutral background. You can't tell if the white in the hair is due to lighting, or maybe it's white hair! (Default)
What did I do today?

(Cover your eyes, it's kinda gross):

Reconstructing the surface of a brain sample [1] and installing a Slice-o-matic to segment leg-bones.

Ewww!

Yes, I'm a day late to the zombie party, but nothing of what I wrote above is fiction.

Ewwwwww!

[1] The brain's the optical lobe of a fruit-fly brain, sampled by a laser scanning microscope... which makes for a really neat software tutorial.

[Edited to add:] And I didn't even get to wear gloves.
