A quick update: My astrobiology posts are still coming, but after conferring with Toggle and being surprised with a massive response to my first blog posts (who linked me onto ycombinator? thousands of views in two days) I am going through a bit more research about the geochemical history of Earth and other solar system objects in an attempt to be as rigorous as possible. I only play an astrobiologist on TV so to speak, day to day my focus is a little smaller.
The marketplace of ideas wants you to change focus.
Hah, believe me I have been looking into ways to get professionally involved in astrobiology once my PhD is done (gimme 18 months, cracking fascinating problems in the study of metabolic regulation and systems bio here). It's pretty hard to break into, though there was that massive gift for SETI from that Russian billionaire recently... it's either that, going into metabolic engineering, or continuing with basic Eukaryotic cell biology for me most likely.
