and at first it's a lot of scut work, doing the gross stuff with the animals (fruit flies!), but as you spend more time there you are given more responsibilities, and get to do more important (and interesting) things. My best advice to give you is to ask questions, lots of questions. Show an interest in the research that is being done, and offer to help anyone that needs it. Even if it's mindless stuff that they need help with, you're going to earn their respect, and you're most likely going to learn something (even if it's just "oh, don't do this, it takes more time than doing it another way").
There is somewhat of a heirarchy, yes, but everyone in my lab is pretty young (think 35), and though I am the youngest by at least 7 years, I find that everyone is very nice, and there aren't real "seniority" issues. It may be different in a university setting, I don't know, I'm at a med school. The first day will be mostly learning your way around the lab, and safety stuff, and other paperwork, but really do make an effort to learn as much as you can-- that's why you're there!
Good luck!
I'm a Texas Republican. Voted Clinton in the primary yesterday-- she is definitely beatable. Both my parents did the same, since McCain didn't really need any votes; he was essentially guaranteed the GOP nomination.
Not necessarily. People will still do it anyway and YouTube has more of a purpose than the mashup of TV shows. Some musicians, rather than posting their videos on their websites, are posting on YouTube and then linking directly to that from their website. There is always a need for a service where literally anyone can post anything, and much of the content is more than music videos set to Battlestar Galactica scenes.
It sounds like it could be possible stalker fodder, but I don't know how many people would find the information a Crackberry stores/sends/receives to be highly valuable. Sure, they could be malicious and run up someone's text messaging bill, but there are a lot funnier ways to piss people off, such as by putting gum on the scroller wheel.

Yeah, but they'd have to be like... 16.

Nowhere in the FSM Bible have I seen anything about being revived from the dead and all that stuff! Lies!
I get the distinct feeling that Bill Nye is sick of science.
Wait, what's a dictionary?
