This blog has been mostly about my work so far and was labelled “A molecular-informatics weblog”. For a while, however, my group has also been running its own blog at http://metabolights.blogspot.com/ and I will use this group blog from now on for postings about bioinformatics, cheminformatics, metabolism, etc. So from now on, this blog will [...]

A more complete human, Part 1
November 22nd, 2011 · 2 Comments · Leisure, Life of Chris, Open Science, People, Scientific Culture, Teaching
What does it mean to live a good life? Philosophers have written about this questions for thousands of years, and very often we find surprisingly up-to-date answers and suggestions in texts as old as 2000 years. Sadly, most of the people in our hectic western societies (and the more and more hectic eastern societies and [...]

The Oak Bistro in Cambridge, UK
April 22nd, 2010 · No Comments · Leisure, Life of Chris, Restaurants
As the eruption under the Eyjaflalla glacier in Iceland kept me on the ground yesterday, together with half a million other people in Europe, and I found myself confronted with the question of what to do with another evening in Cambridge. So I decided to give the Oak Bistro a try which is just a [...]

Reports from a quest for quality and silence: The Marriott Metro Center in Washington, DC
October 12th, 2009 · No Comments · Business, Conferences and Meetings, Hotels, Life of Chris
I’ve decided to merge my two blogs which, so far, I wanted to keep separate because of their potentially different readership. But now I think that they are just two connected aspects of my life and, hey, a weblog should report about exactly this. Within certain boundaries, of course . So, while Steinblog was about [...]
