		<title>Networking nowadays</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today&#8217;s world is all about networking, meeting people, keeping in touch and so on. So we have social media to make it easier for us.

		<title>On highly polarizing science issues</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I am cleaning the shelves of my old collected magazines, including Chemical and Engineering News for last half a year or so.

		<title>Cost of subscription</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I already complained on this blog about magazines bugging you all the time to renew subscription. Unfortunately, my favorite National Geographic is among them. The moment I pay additional year, the letters start coming to add yet another. Clearly, in this country subscribing to a magazine generates additional cost to the magazine owner, as a [...]]]></description>

When you work on a project, and need to familiarize yourself/acknowledge all the previous papers, &#8220;to the best of your knowledge&#8221; all of them, reporting same or similar stuff, what do you do?

		<title>J1 waiver advice- part 2 (IGA)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As I mentioned in last post, I know how hard it is to get visa waiver if you were sponsored by US government. My &#8220;no objection&#8221; case was denied. You cannot argue the decision- when it is made, it is final. You cannot file &#8220;no objection&#8221; again. Is there anything you can do then? Yes, [...]]]></description>

		<title>J1 waiver advice- part 1</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So, your J1 visa is ready to expire? You are in US for 4.5 years, and just start to thinking of maybe staying, getting H1 visa, or permanent residence. Think again. Or better, go and check your DS-2019 form or passport if there is a note about section 212(e), reads something like this: &#8220;subject to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Comment on social media ethics</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I just finished reading an interesting post about Twitter and other social media ethics. And I am wondering, does it all imply that people with certain positions just cannot use them at all? The journalist from major paper closed his account on Twitter and is not posting anymore, because his private opinions are not considered [...]]]></description>

		<title>Paper update</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I just realized I didn&#8217;t have time to post that another paper showed up online. It is not my first-author, but a review on chiral PCBs, their metabolites, toxicity and human and environmental enentiomeric fractions. The paper is a team work of all people who presented their research during last, 5th PCB Workshop, where special [...]]]></description>

Simple to set up, even simpler to display a poster- no mess with push-pins or velcro. Takes about 30 sec to prepare. I fell in love.]]></description>
