Allen's Minimalist Home Page

This is, as the title says, a minimalist home page. I am Dr. Allen Smith, formerly a graduate student at Rutgers University in the Ph.D. program in Microbiology and Molecular Genetics. My department is that of Biochemistry and Microbiology on Cook Campus. My dissertation advisor is Dr. Peter Kahn. My Bachelor's degree, a B.A. in Biology, is from Earlham, a liberal-arts college (that being why it's a B.A. and not a B.S. in Biology). For more topics that you might find of interest, use the below links:

Research (updated recently with dissertation material, including a complete copy of my dissertation on Phylogenetics and Homology Modeling) and the CCAPD (Consolidated Curated Alignments for Phylogenetics Database)
Teaching
Computers (including fighting spam, such as via blacklists/blocklists)
Religion - especially regarding another recent change in my life
Politics
Hurricane Katrina Reaction

If you think that I'm the person to send InsightII tutorials to, please see my tutorials page. I am the proper person to consult on matters regarding computer security or email for these systems, however.
