I just got an email asking if I could TA computational biology. Me? Biology? That's funny. I told them "Goodness no!" which is a nice way of saying "Hell no".

I'll tell you one thing. I *won't* TA a class that would have such a steep learning curve for me. I realize that in a small department, you sometimes need to learn the subject and then TA it. But it's unfair to me and unfair to the students. I won't be able to get much of my own research accomplished and I won't be able to answer student's questions.

I think I'm getting to the "No" stage with Brandeis. If they ask for something completely unrealistic, I'll just say "No."

But on another level this is really funny. Me - TAing Computational Biology.
