About
As you can guess, my name is Mike, I'm a biologist (evolutionary biology/microbiology), and I'm more than a little annoyed at how things are going (thus the "Mad" part). I'm not going to say much else because I believe that the best way to keep your personal life is not to talk about it. So why did I decide to start a blog? I suppose it's partially frustration with recent US politics; I figure it's time to try to put some different ideas out there.
One more thing: The opinions on this blog are mine, and mine alone, and do not represent the official views or opinions of my employer.
