Rather than describe you all with a crayon color, song, or haiku, I'll just trust that you all know yourselves well enough to not need a summary and move on to talking about who I am and what I'm about - subjects you're all certain to be less familiar with.
To start simply, I'm Jayson. I hope you know that by now, but something you probably don't know is that it took me most of the semester to learn all of YOUR names. As the title of this blog has already stated, I drink coffee, read, occasionally research (although that occasionally is about to become a bit more confident given the start of SRI), and partake in a bunch of other human activities when I can. My research involves the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, as you all know by now, and I'm specifically researching RNP formation in these guys when exposed to fermentation inhibitors (I'll probably post a link to my research proposal later). My mentor is Dr. Steve Gorsich, a great guy I look forward to getting to work with this summer.
I come from a city about an hour north of Detroit called Port Huron. As the name implies, Port Huron ("PoHo" as we Huronites aptly slander it) is rather amphibious running along a lake with rivers flowing through it and such, so that's what I'm used to. To be honest, I'm not liking being so far away from a lake this summer, but what Mt. Pleasant lacks in water, it makes up for in tortuous wind and painfully typical housing (that's all the criticism I have for the place, I swear).
Regarding our 2013 cohort, I struggle to find many criticisms of you guys, which is a rare thing for me. I thoroughly enjoy the time we spend together, and I look forward to watching all of you graduate with whatever sort of degree you find appropriate.
