This week, I applied for a NSF mathematical sciences postdoctoral research fellowship, or MSPRF. It was a very educational experience for me, in that the application format was that of a short grant proposal. Regardless of how this turns out, it was a great experience in what shall surely be an integral part of my life as a scientist.

I can't go into too much detail on the proposal itself, but it involves some exciting research on a next-generation tissue-level cancer model. I also got to learn more details on my coming post-doc next year at the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston, which is closely tied to the M.D. Anderson Cancer Center. More to come later. -- Paul
