Hi welcome to my Ted Talk.

taking PTO on Friday so I can sit at home to get @taylorswift13 tickets for Indy and setting my OOO message to “too busy to talk, girlbossing my way to the Eras Tour”

[Robert Komaniecki @Komaniecki_R]

Indiana University is hosting what I believe is the first-ever academic conference entirely dedicated to Taylor Swift. PhDs, grad students, and Swifties, submit a proposal!

If 10 year old me met me, I know she’d be ecstatic.
-I’m a beekeeper in training
-I’m a whole entire scientist that works for a company I dreamed of when I was little
-I just took a gig presenting with some of my colleagues at a children’s museum
-I have 100+ squishmallows

90% of molecular biology is pipetting very tiny amounts of clear liquids from one container to another. The other 10% is doing math on paper towels.

Some days I think I should have listened to my mother and become a wizard.
