Austin's pretty cool. Mostly chill, lots of cool things to do outdoors all the time, and music music music everywhere. I like it a lot. The heat kills in the summer though, especially in a dry summer. And if you have cedar allergies, the beginning of the year can be pretty terrible.
Sweet on the PhD program! Good luck with it! I left school for a bit to make some money (and give myself time to decide where I want to actually focus)...I do some minor molecular stuff, some PCR and whatnot, but mostly behavioral experiments with mice.![]()
