explaning the name

My previous blog's name is "a naturalist's perception". However, I soon realized that I am not a naturalist, which, by common definition, refers to those studying natural history and most of them mainly engage in field work. Since I have left field work for long and I am now mainly interested in the genetic basis of evolution, the title no longer holds.

I'd like to position myself in a broad context, i.e., a student of biology. Indeed, every biological phenomenum is the product of evolutionary process, and is thereby intriguing. Of course, unlike traditional biologists, I'd implement a lot of mathematical and bioinformatic approaches.

a new site

I have long been sick of the msn space site, which is slow and ugly. If I'd like to continue to maintain a blog, changing for somewhere nicer seems inevitable.

Well, I am not sure if this one, the blogger, is significantly better. Any recommendation of blog website is welcome.
