Death of Researcher Spurs Investigation
Richard Din was working at Veterans Affairs Medical Center in San Francisco when he died of meningococcal. The primary suspect is Neisseria meningitidis (as seen above), and is no surprise, his main research bacterium.
Neisseria meningitidis causes 1000 causes of infection a year, and 75 fatalities in the US; and although vaccines have been available for years, none has been discovered for the serotype B N. meningitidis strain which has been found inside Din.

A Quite Moment….
The sun is out today. I am withdrawn. My head for the last month has been a disorganized mess. My house is a mess. A current and visual reflection of my mental state. I picked up smoking again; that will end next weekend. My life is blessed. I am grateful for all that exists in it; I get what I ask for there is power in my words and in my heart and over my mind. I have had several fits of sadness of rapid cycling emotionally. I have spent many hours lost in a world of my own creation. For what? Is my story going to have any impact on the world at large? I do not know. I just know I feel compelled to put a lot of energy into it; as if there is something to get out of it. As I sit here right now I feel flat; robotic. As if these words mean nothing. They simply exist…..
Love is ridiculous
For real. will finish post manyana.

Creativity is more important than knowledge.
Albert Einstein
It is what it is.
I don’t think I can take credit for starting this, but I do perpetuate it.
The World
Will always get darkest before the dawn. It is a constant reminder that we are never fully with out light.
Right now the world is shroud in darkness: Meth-apocolypse
As the world shifts it will be over come with the presence of this drug. I believe this to be a huge societal problem that has been ignored and placed on a back burner because we don’t know how to deal with it. There are no “systems” in place to deal with overwhelming numbers of people left devestated by this drug.
Many studies have been done deducing the effects of meth on the brain. As this problem has been an on going issue in my life it some what inspired me to think about becoming a neuroscientist. I want to study what affects the drug really has on brain flow and cognation. I want to do an indepth study on the changing morality and mental state of meth users.
I have seen with my two eyes what this drug does to people. To some extent I was blind to it. I didn’t want to see what was staring me back in the face. How could I?
My own personal defense mechansims have conditioned me to put what ever I do not like or do not want to emotionally deal with on “FULL” ignore.
I want to help these people that the are being swept under the rug. I would like to do research that helps shape the potential for a better future of those affected.
Who knows, I guess this is all still just an idea…..
To top it off the urban dictionary defines the town I live in as,
Port OrchardSmall, rural town in Washington state. Known for its meth addicts and notable lack of an orchard, this little town is located near the Bremerton Navy Base, and is home to HIJOY bowl, the only local entertainment.
