Amazing! You sure are a roll model in scientific blogging.
How do you manage to do all of this along with your studies??
GL to you all the way …
Thank you for the encouragement! Actually, I study all day long and work on my blog at night (I’m an owl…)

I found your site and alot goes with it! Congrats on all your accomplishements! I’m a believer in “they are far and few between”, and when one can accomplish what you have young man….you’ve got the support of this cancer patient MOM. I have 3 Beautiful Kids (my baby is 19 and my oldest is 30). I love them til the end of time, and if they can be as diligent in their studies & the “internet”, and be successful, all the more power to them!!! I’m proud of them regardless! Continue with your excellent topic/conversation/comments and all the best for continued success!
