What I do for work


We immobilize an antibody to the affinity pipette which then allows us to extract the protein from human plasma or urine. This allows us to assess variations in human proteins among and within
populations using mass spectrometry. It can facilitate
clinical proteomics in discovery and validation of protein biomarkers
that can be used for early diagnosis of
cancer, monitoring of disease progression, and assessment
of therapy.

Secrets Revealed

I never thought this moment would come but here it is. I've made fun of many people for a long time for creating blogs but I've just realized how I can benefit. I intend to use it as an online journal to keep tract of random facts I find interesting. I image it may evolve into a lot more than that. Maybe I'll post my opinions on various subjects...I'll call it "The Jason Daily - Secrets Revealed" or "An Ignoramus's View of the World" or "Jason - Exposed". If you want to know what goes on in my small brain you can check out my blog!

Vitamins and Politics

Have you ever been confused about reccomended daily intake values of vitamins and minerals? Don't know what international units (IU's) are? Check out this website, http://www.dietitian.com/vitamins.html and this one, http://www.netrition.com/rdi_page.html and maybe this one, http://fnic.nal.usda.gov/ but remember the government has some incorrect DRI values, e.g. Vitamin C.

Ever wondered what is really going on with US politics? This is an interesting nonpartisan video, http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=7886780711843120756 but be careful not to fall in the rabbit hole.
