Also I’m sorry but how cool are the cacti. I can’t get over them

I’m trying very hard to shut down the part of my brain that’s trying to convince me that taking a nap at 2pm after 24h of travel is “not a bad idea” (it is a catastrophic idea); still wanted to thank the organisers for putting up such an amazing FASEB lipidation meeting!

[Lorena Mejuto @LorenaMejuto]

Had a fantastic time despite the inhumane temperatures (🥵) and even though my abstract ended up lost in the ether for a couple of days. As always I came back home with a brain full of ideas and inspired by everyone’s work.
I hope to see everyone next year in “northern England”!

Some news I guess? 🥳 thank you to all the examiners, I enjoyed every second of it!

@DrDDOM @Thioesterase at least you’re not alone

This is funny *every time*

me & my dissertation

[Lorena Mejuto @LorenaMejuto]

Prizes are very cool (thank you!!) but I truly appreciate all the comments, feedback and questions. Can’t wait to go back to the lab and be disappointed when things are not as straightforward as I’d like. I’ll tell you all about it next year

[Lorena Mejuto @LorenaMejuto]

My brain is fuzzy with ideas 🧠✨

Big thanks to everyone that came to my poster! It’s always a pleasure to share my research with you.

Also I want you to know this is what I thought I looked like when I was explaining it

[The Struggling Scientists @TheStrugglingS4]

Are you dreading writing your thesis?

[Lorena Mejuto @LorenaMejuto]

Me 🤝 staying in the shadow with 3 layers of sun cream on worrying about people voluntarily COOKING their skin under the midday sun

[Lorena Mejuto @LorenaMejuto]

Me 🤝 going on holiday to read books about astrophysics

[Lorena Mejuto @LorenaMejuto]

I am very much enjoying this holiday read @AstroKatie

n=1 vs n=6

It’s long overdue but I’m going to start combining my two biggest talents: 1) finding the best reaction gifs for any situation and 2) being baffled by science.

@Karlstar92 As in my criminal records? To be fair I haven’t updated my DBS check in years

[Lorena Mejuto @LorenaMejuto]

Listen I’m going to spend countless hours obsessing over the tiniest format details in a document and there’s nothing you can do about it but please don’t ask me to double check if I have copy-pasted the correct primer sequences into a table I simply don’t have the time for that
