My Half-Sister Found Me!

This is another wonderful example of how small the internet is making this world and how it allows us to connect with each other. My sister and I have met her once quite a few years ago and we have been thinking about her and wondering how she is doing, but during the years since then we lost contact, due to moving, marriage, college, military, and so on. =( Today she popped up with a friend request on Facebook! =) Yea!

She lives about 2 hours away from us, but hopefully, we can get a chance to meet and catch-up again. Yea Internet!

Facebook for Scientists gets Millions in Funding

In 2008 I listed some Notes to the Obama Administration and in part of that was having research between different organizations or researchers being more publicly and/or centrally located so that work is not repeated and researchers can more closely work together and share insights to allow more rapid scientific advancement. This Facebook for scientists gets millions in funding is a huge stepping stone towards that goal. Very good to hear.
