			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Last week I started my new job as a researcher in the field of genetic epidemiology at a university hospital in the Netherlands. Working for a UNIX consultancy firm for some time was a lot of fun, but being back in science is even more fun!</p>
<p>My job will keep me occupied with system administration of the servers used for genetic computations, improving several genetics packages for <a href="http://www.r-project.org"> the programming language R</a>, including getting them adapted to multi-CPU environments, and, maybe later, even try to get those calculations done on graphics cards (<a href="http://www.gpgpu.org">GPGPU computing</a>/<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CUDA">CUDA</a>). And, of course, I need to get up to speed with genetics and epidemiology, and the math involved, as quickly as possible <img src='http://blog.karssen.org/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> . So, no physics involved here, but who knows where this will bring me. And so far it&#8217;s been a lot of fun!</p>
