Thanks again laugh.gif
Yeah, my work is on Molecular Systematics and a bit of in vitro Aquaculture work.
Seaweed cultivation was started in Sabah at around the 1980s and has been around since then, again mostly on Sea Bird Nest only.  The seaweed industry is pretty important to the economy of the country, which is why the development of the seaweed industry has been given due emphasis by the government in the recent Budgets. There is still a lot of room for improvements to the seaweed industry to be honest, especially in terms of management and logistics.
I think setting up a Resaarch Institute at Tawau is a great idea in the long run although at 1st there will surely be logistic problems since chemicals and equipments will have a hard time being delivered to that place hmm.gif
But good also la, we can just work there instead of the constant flying from KL to Sabah all the time.

I will become a lecturer 1st,then aim for promotion and get married? laugh.gif

Oh, that is Nori (Porphyra sp.). Yeah, its good to eat them everyday. My supervisor always steam them along with rice  laugh.gif

I heard there was a chemistry lecturer in UKM who is also working on seaweed. For energy, for chemical extraction etc.

I don't like seaweed like that.. but seaweed with sushi is fine.. smile.gif
Sigh.. now making me miss good sushi. sad.gif

Anyone else here like me? Experimental biologist turned wannabe computational biologist? : )

By anyway, are you teaching any specific course as an assistant professor in University of Malaya? laugh.gif

So is that how you think the Assistant Professor is same as Associate Professor? sweat.gif
It really isn't about age; it is about an invincible determination can accomplish almost anything and in this lies the great distinction between great men and little men... Not everyone can swim across the lake. icon_rolleyes.gif

Haha, I think I read too fast.. i saw ass...and my brain processed that as associate professor.. tongue.gif

But from the way you puji2 him in this thread, I wouldn't be too surprised. nod.gif

Haha, yeah I know. But a bit shy also ler.. All around me most of the ppl here, majority Europeans mostly around 25. But then that's cos I took a longer masters for research work, attachments at overseas and publishing. I think hard to get into here if I just did my masters in 1 1/2 years in Malaysia without paper.

Maybe you can tell us a little bit about your doctorate life at Europe as a computational biologist, the ongoing project you are focusing, as well as the girl you are dating? laugh.gif

Speaking bout associate professors, I just recalled an incident. One of my professors had a symposium with invited researchers from Japan. So i was listening to one of them and noticed this young japanese guy sitting behind working on his mac laptop. He was dressed really casually, plaid shirt, hipster glasses and uncombed hair. I thought he was a student or assistant to the current japanese professor giving talk in front. I was fully shocked when the next speaker was announced as an assc professor working on blahblahblah and he walked up to the front!

Anyway I started quite recently, around October last year at one of the Max-Planck Institutes in Germany. Since I'm not a computer scientist by training, I had to brush up my computer skills and programming. Currently I'm trying to develop a pipeline to predict unique evolutionary events through comparative genomics. Can't give too much details on my project yet.. maybe after it works out and i have a paper. biggrin.gif

Why is it assumed there is a girl I'm dating? I came here foreveralone (lol pick up too much kopitiam speak). Most of the people here are attached. Some have gf/bf in their home countries, some of them managed to coordinate their spouses (they apply here in Germany following their partner elsewhere in Germany or vice versa). The rest moved their family here, which I'm quite amazed that their husband/wife/kid sanggup to move and follow him/her all the way to do PhD in a foreign country. shocking.gif Got two Indian persons in my lab, both recently married in India before bringing their spouse here.

Can get a bit lonely here at times. Here got strict rules on torrent, so cannot download any stuff. All movies/tv/radio/tv in german, occasionally got original undubbed movies in English but the screening times very rare. And of course I always miss the food in Malaysia terribly.. :S

But all in all, quite ok ler. Hope I didn't derail the thread too much. tongue.gif
