For quite some time now, I have been disappointed by how academic scientific research has lost its real focus. Even though as a PhD student, I will become a product of that academic system, I decided that I will not get caught in it.
I am putting my money where my mouth is. After much research, I have decided to launch Fatty-Acids.org, which is my first attempt to use my science background to bridge the gap between the general public and the scientific community.
I have been quite busy with Pubmed searches and reading articles. It will take a lot of time, especially now, since I am not working on fatty-acids.org full time… not yet, anyway.
Here is my long term plan in a nutshell: generate a significant amount of steady income from my web marketing efforts, so by the time I receive my PhD degree, I would be able to pursue my dreams, goals, and visions… instead of being stuck in a job, where my primary objective is to please my boss, his/her boss, etc.
I don’t want politics in my future. At the young age of 26, I have already had enough. I just want to be doing the right thing, tackling the important questions, pursuing my passions, and enjoying life. But isn’t this every one’s goal in life? Yet how many actually get to accomplish it?
Even if very few or none can, I know I have the talent, vision, and drive to do it! There is always “a first”, right? I am up for the challenge… Bring It On!
