Hey, a friend of mine just opened a new lab at BCM and is looking for a research technician. He is also looking for a few undergrad students to work in his lab. He is doing research on the molecular and neurobiological basis of aggressive behavior using drosophila. I am posting this because he is having trouble getting applicants and I know there are plenty of Texans in this forum. Here is the job add for the tech position:

)right after I left school. It's a huge campus, with lots of stuff going on, right in the middle of the Medical Center. Pretty classy place. Some labs in particular are shiny and new and hi-tech.
