Jealous that Wartburg students get four days between finals and graduation instead of four minutes! 😑

I haven’t spent this much time doing experiments since grad school, but I accomplished some simple fluorescence today! Gemcitabine-treated (bottom) pancreatic cancer cells are more apoptotic than control (top)!

Advocacy works. Because of your calls and the citizens who showed up to raise their voices, the Mayor of Cedar Falls changed his mind and signed the Pride proclamation. Great job!

New fave exam answer. “Explain how nodes of Ranvier increase action potential conductivity”:

“If Paul Revere had to stop at every house to tell them, “The redcoats are coming,” he never would have saved America!”

Today was my first day teaching as a college professor! I can’t wait for the rest of the year with my new students @WartburgCollege!

@lea_drogalis Congratulations!!!

[Cole @coledavidson94]

Always worth saying!!

[Lea Drogalis Beckham @lea_drogalis]

Most scientific accolades are tokens of a power structure that favors rubbing elbows, pedigree, and politicking and disfavors prioritizing work-life balance and mental health. I won’t measure my worth by the opinion of those who gate-keep success under the guise of “prestige.”
