Dr Becca, Ph.D.
Dr Becca is a [number redacted]-year neuroscience post-doc in New York City. She needs a tenure track job ASAP. Do you maybe have one for her? When she started to blog, she predicted that her journey would "likely begin as a comedy of errors, but almost certainly end as a heartwarming tale of human triumph." It is safe to say we're still on the comedy of errors part.

What I wish I knew before...I moved to New York City

Contest time!
Tuesday, July 27, 2010My parents are the ultimate science/art yin and yang--Mom's a crazy smart biomed researcher, while Dad could probably recite the entire Pantone catalogue. You'd think, then, that their offspring would have been these well-rounded überkind, Renaissance Children destined for world domination. Instead, they got one of each of them--my sister: arty, musically inclined, naturally perfect pitch, handy with a paintbrush--and me: nerdy, science-leaning, was on the math team. I can't carry a tune, nor could I re-create the simplest of drawings. But why am I telling you all of this?
It's because I need your help.
While I'm totally loving my new digs here at LabSpaces, I'm looking around my blog page and, well, the walls are a little bare, no? When I was setting things up I noticed that I could upload a banner, and I'd be lying if I told you I immediately knew what that meant. But now that I do know what a banner is, I totally want one! I feel like it could really tie the room together.
And here's where you come in! If you design a banner for me, I will love you forever. Just follow these simple rules:
1. NO COMIC SANS
2. Must say "Fumbling towards tenure track" somewhere.
3. Must look good next to my Dumbo bum avatar.
4. Must be 620px x 100 px
5. Must be emailed to dr.becca.phd [at] gmail by noon (EST) Friday, July 30.
Presuming I get more than one entry, I will pick a winner! The winning banner will become my actual banner, and "Banner designed by [your name or pseudonym here]" will be displayed prominently on my main blog page. Fame
Thank you thank you thank you in advance, talented arty readers!

Yeah, genomic repairman designed his, it was just 100 pixels too wide and covered up the login box :P I fixed it for him.

Just to clarify things, this post is by no means an indication that I wish I hadn't moved to NYC. I love it here--the pace, the food, the cocktails, the people, the late night-ness-- and if I had all. . .Read More
Brian, you are forgetting all the nice things in Chicago, like the winter weather and the lines to wait for a place in the best restaurants!. Ah, Dr. Becca makes me realize that all large cities . . .Read More

Rockin' post Becca. I've never been a big city kind of guy. I spent my summers for 4-ish years in college practically living in Chicago and I hated every minute of it. It's almost like people relis. . .Read More
Ha ha! Excellent post dude. I interviewed for an editors position in NYC and the awesomeness of driving into the city was utterly abated by the time I'd spent a day there. I couldn't wait to get out... . .Read More
