Oh gawd, no! We've watched lots of Sesame Street in the last few years, and Anne and I are always saying how progressive they were to have gay men on the show way back then.

got yelled at by my bio professor for trying to do a presentation on a paper based on stochastic model of integrin mediated signaling. WHY WONT BIO CLASSES LET ME DO MATH PAPERS?!?!??! :(

You prof needs a good kicking - he/she is clearly a bio-luddite. The bio-sciences have a strong statisitical element, so stochastic modelling is entirely a valid approach to data and meta-data analysis.

if the posters the grad students in my department put up every quarter suggest anything, it's that bio-science is all statistics.

When I went through university as a biochem major, I had to take a statistics class as part of major requirement. The first thing the professor told us (knowing it was all bio-science students) was to hire a statistician.

I dont know much about other schools but bio grad students at my school know jack shit about mathematics and statistics, and you can tell by their level of statistical analysis on their research. My research focus (and most of what I know in general) is on bioinfomatics, modeling and machine learning so most of what I'm interested in concerning biology is somehow related to mathematics.

But then again, this is a grad level intro to cell/molecular bio class so I shouldnt have assumed that I could present on whatever I wanted :P

I have no idea what you guys are talking about, but because I like jin, I also vote for a good kicking for anyone who yells at him.
The argument goes something like this:

Prof: You're off topic!

Jin: But everything reduces to mathses.

Your professor is a turd. Unfortunately, he has a lot of company in bio departments all over the world (professors, graduate students and post-docs) that somehow fail to understand that biology is not understandable using Deterministic models.

Work, sashimi lunch, got randomly butt-dialed (no Steve, not that way!) by Screaming Oranges. Don't think he ever noticed, too busy talking to some woman.

Amen, brother!

If he was talking to a woman, maybe his phone was in his front pocket . . . >:D

Left work early to go to a dental appointment. Much to my amazement, I was actually seen at the scheduled time and the appointment lasted expected/scheduled duration (bit less, actually).
