He therefore decided to undertake research for his PhD at the Joslin Diabetes Center, Harvard Medical School, USA, where he became an expert on the molecular physiology of exercise and muscle metabolism. He then moved to Dundee to join Dario Alessi05:29

* katsmeow-afk sighs:11:04
katsmeow-afkThe talk I held at the 2009 Seasteading conference is up! Thanks everyone who was there, for the interesting discussions we have had afterwards.11:04
katsmeow-afkSome comments on the then and now: I unfortunately no longer have the confidence in this concept I had back then11:04
kanzurehm?11:04
katsmeow-afk</sigh> and </quote>11:04
kanzurefor which presentation?11:05
katsmeow-afkre talking to Utopiah, http://seasteading.org/blogs/engineering/2010/01/08/engineering-talk11:05
katsmeow-afkit's like 2009 ended 2 weeks ago, and he already changed his mind, and this is after years of research into whatever it was he said in 200911:06
katsmeow-afk"Connecting seasteads in such a manner is more difficult than I supposed, because the horizontal forces involved are much larger than I anticipated on an intuitive basis." which is why i am engineering 100klb joints on my boat duh11:07
katsmeow-afkit's why the Texas Towers collapsed11:07
katsmeow-afkit's why a perfectly good boat becomes scrap afetr a few hrs on a beach11:07
katsmeow-afkhow the hell do those guys get funding without doing adequate research intot he basics?!11:08
katsmeow-afk"Under worst case conditions , these horizontal acceleration forces are of the same order of magnitude as the weight of the entire structure itself. the components required to withstand such thousands of tons forces get a little bit out of hand", and he didn't have that clue till early 2010?11:09
parolangkatsmeow-afk: Funding to do homework :)11:10
katsmeow-afkdid no one understand the deeper a floating ship gets inthe water, the more liable it is to breakup because of the sloshing forces of the water?11:11
katsmeow-afkparolang, no one funded me11:11
parolangkatsmeow-afk: Sorry, I thought you were saying that the seasteading guys were funded.11:11
katsmeow-afkthey are, i aren't11:12
parolangNeat idea though.11:12
parolangSure.11:12
katsmeow-afkFri, 01/08/2010 - 15:37 — Wayne Gramlich 11:12
katsmeow-afkFlip Ship11:12
katsmeow-afkSince you are up to speed on Morrisons equations.  How does a structure like the Flip Ship perform in the comfort department?11:12
katsmeow-afkdamnit, they said 20 yrs ago the flipship wallows +/- 10 ft and is damned uncomfy11:13
katsmeow-afkbasically, i am designing for any one joint to be able to lift the entire boat x2, and then count on the forces to be shared11:17

kanzurehello JayDugger 19:26
JayDuggerHello, kanzure.19:26
* kanzure has been reading up on gene therapy19:26
kanzureapparently i didn't have any papers on the topic19:26
JayDuggerDid you ever discuss Mendeley vs. Zotero for organizing research?19:27
kanzurei tend to use zotero19:27
kanzuremendeley turned me off sort of19:28
kanzurealthough they do have a nice OCR system (or some other magic going on)19:28
JayDuggerDo you often encounter papers that need OCR?19:30
kanzureno19:30
kanzuremendeley uses OCR to extract metadata (DOI number, etc.)19:31
kanzuresometimes it just finds the DOI number in the text (if the .pdf is not just a giant image)19:31
JayDuggerAh, but none of that metadata had value enough to continue its use?19:31
kanzurewell, mendeley is proprietary and lock-in, so yeah19:31
kanzurei separated myself from it quickly :)19:32
JayDuggerFair enough.19:32
kanzurezotero has this nice export utility that i've used every once in a while19:32
kanzureto do a dump of a folder on a certain topic19:32
kanzurethe dump includes the metadata (citation information) plus the pdf itself19:32
kanzuresoo that's nice for others :)19:32
JayDuggerI currently keep all the papers I collect and read in doc/non-fiction/<AUTHOR>/, along with all the other non-fiction I have.19:33
JayDuggerWhoops, that'd be doc/non-fiction/[a-z]/<Author's Surname, Author's First Name>/19:34
JayDuggerThis fails for papers, as I remember their content more accurately than their author's name.19:34
JayDuggerI don't really need citations because I live and work outside academia.19:36
JayDuggerThis prompted my questions about Zotero and Mendeley.19:36

kanzure"my son and i use heybryan all the time for his biology homework"19:58
JayDuggerHeh.19:59
JayDuggerI hope the follow-up had good news.19:59
