So much to do, so little time

I hate that I never have time to do all the things I want.

I just had a fun idea for a pop gen project (whether it is good or not, I don’t know and perhaps never will).

I have the data.  I have the software I need for the analysis (wrote it back in 2004-2005 but never managed to use it since the data set I was working on then was way too large).

What I don’t have is time to pursue this.

I’m completely swamped with projects well into autumn… I need some grad students to take some work off my hands, but I don’t have any funding I can use for it.  The grants I have are fixed to specific projects (projects, incidentally, that I don’t have much time for either because I’m busy with more interesting work that got started after I got the grants), and I have already hired as many as I can with the money I have.

Oh well, another piece of paper on the pile of potential, but never actualised, projects.

    Blog it in as much detail as you have time for – and see if anyone bites? That would be so Science 2.0

    :)

    Ah, the blogging time isn’t much of a problem. It doesn’t take long to write a few posts. It is the proper thinking about a project that’s a problem if the brain is overloaded with swapping from project to project :)
