what adjectives would you use to describe mark?

well, try this statement.

'time-effective, creative and aggressive approach on core research problems'
WOW. i would not have described mark as aggressive but it's quite funny to think of him that way. in fact, come to think about it, compared to others in the bioinformatic field, one could describe mark as pushy. can you imagine that!

oh, i was rolling around with laughter on this one. even more because mark seemed to be slightly offended by the remark!
