After B.Tech. in Bioinformatics, What?

In India, several undergrads have this question. Ever since B.Tech in Bioinformatics was started in India, people wondered how good the course be. There were several students who attended Masters of Technology in Bioinformatics. I just leave heavy thoughts in mind for this blog readers that, shouldn't the student think of a PhD soon after his under graduation, if s/he has a penchant for research?

Have you ever over stressed yourself whence research?

Dear All,
I was wondering if you have over stressed yourself when doing research or projects?
If so, how could you cope up?

I have expressed my views earlier in http://prashbio.wordpress.com

Toll Access for publishing

Dear All,

Recently, one of our articles was published in JPR and it is to be allowed free access for the first two weeks as "Just Accepted Manuscript" This is so-called a kind of Toll access!

Any thoughts?

But.. why Bt. Brinjal?

This question prevails in my mind. For Indian contemporaries, I don't think this king of vegetables fit. Even if it's worth taking a try, are we nuts about going for toxicology tests ?
