I didn't mean "obscure in the field of biology", but more "obscure in that none of the details have been mentioned in the course". nevermind.

It was an extra l ong essay for the holidays.

cell volume regulation (i.e. "growth" as compared to "development" - increasing cell size rather than complexity) is a major area of research.

Thats the one. There was loads of stuff, but it seems to be still at the "research little bits" stage rather than the "lets publish an easy-to-understand summary of what we know so far" stage.

try trends in (whatever) - tend to have summary papers. elsevier. my supervisors think it's crap, but at least it's relatively easy to read and digest, as compared to random crap you find on pubmed.

the problem I had was that i diod mine over the holidays and I didn't have the same access to journal archives etc I do from my computer when its on the college network.

is there a way to view the "pay archives" when at home?

(apart from paying, that is)

oh, ok, fair enough. still, me and shuai have all the lovely noise of pembroke street and the famous lorry every night, so..

I am sure more emergency service vehicles go down pemrboke street than anywhere else. I saw 2 fire engines go past today, separately, when i was just staring out the window.

you can register for an ATHENS password at the UL for free, which should get you into most major journal websites (jstor, webofscience etc) that the UL subscribes to, from outside the cam network :smile:

Will -
I randomly saw you today. You were by that 3D model of Cambridge, by Great St Mary's opposite the Senate House. You were talking at a load of people. It was fairly bizarre.
I was on my way to spend another £50 in Heffers... gah
