Is a hot dog a sandwich?

Hi Dr. Redfield,

I'm near the end of my PhD, trying to start up a blog to write on a regular basis. Do you have any advice for someone who's trying to establish an online presence in this way? What would you recommend prioritizing?

Is there a point where the side effect becomes the primary effect? Like maybe rhodopsin proteins?

Thanks for the pointers! Yes, I anticipate motivation being a sticking point, with a couple false starts in the past.

I'm active on Twitter (found this AMA from there!) but I hadn't thought too much about commenting on other blogs. How do you walk that line without being brazenly self-promotional?

If I can follow up on /u/Brenny 's question, I remember the study involved high-tech approaches to answer some questions maybe more easily addressed with simpler techniques. Do you think there is a danger of complicated techniques leading to complacency in experimental design? Are we getting lazy as better machines give us confidence?
