@MeanestTA I like the ones from brooks. You can get ones with hooks on the back so that you don't almost strangle yourself when you're sweaty and trying to take it off.

This relates to a meeting I just had, but the misconceptions section of lemmings entry of wikipedia is gold. https://t.co/v7pnR4ys2o

Do expired BinaxNOW #COVID19 rapid antigen tests still work? This @JournalSpectrum study shows that expired kits retain their sensitivity. The findings have implications for waste management & supply chain resilience in pandemic readiness efforts. https://t.co/SJRkmBUqkd

@drugmonkeyblog This is basically my job description. AssistP with roots in industry saw value in a project manager for the lab. It's a unicorn position, but I am the person who pulls every so that he can do heavy lifting.

@gonenlab Mine was 500 + tagging epitopes and fluors, but I must have preferentially worked with larger proteins in my career. (e.g. LRRK2)

[Dr. Geeka 🔬📊🤦🏼‍♀️ @Geeka]

Reviewing a chapter for something. States that most proteins are in the 300-400aa range. Is this true? Or am I biased by working on too many 12-TM proteins?

@aemonten We are counting MMWR?

One of the students came in dressed all in pink because of the Barbie movie. He's my new favorite.

Thursday is my day that I get to work from home. I have a delivery window from 7:30 to 11:30. Obviously I will get nothing done Because of imminent interruption.

[Dr. Geeka 🔬📊🤦🏼‍♀️ @Geeka]

I think everyone in science has written a "fuck you" reply to a grant not getting a good review/ a paper not getting accepted (looking at you reviewer # 3), when I'm stuck, I like to write the "OMG this is the best thing ever infomercial" version of something. Creativity helps.

New boss keeps apologizing for swearing in front of me. Because I’m trying to behave, I haven’t laughed yet.

Guy in the next office is on the phone explaining to a collaborator that Pittsburgh and Philly aren't really close to each other.

First Sprint of (eventual) Lab Scrum today. Starting with one Labbie, and we will go from there. #PMP #Bioinformatics #SeemedLikeAGoodIdeaAtTheTime

[Dr. Geeka 🔬📊🤦🏼‍♀️ @Geeka]

Would it be weird to nominate myself for an alumni award? I want to do it just out of principle because it seems my alma mater usually gives them to performing arts majors.

New Publication from the New Lab! (I had nothing to do with the research)

@davonmagwood because running some oxyclean over your carpets makes your house smell brand new.

[Dr. Geeka 🔬📊🤦🏼‍♀️ @Geeka]

@davonmagwood I am one of the few that grew up on the south side. There's always been an element of partiers that have been there, but it's like a hellscape during the day now too. Too much has been spent on accommodating the non-locals. For example: SSW.

It looks like the Archive is under a DDoS attack causing the servers to fall over. Our volunteer sysadmins are working on countermeasures. Please be patient with us, we'll be back!

[Dr. Geeka 🔬📊🤦🏼‍♀️ @Geeka]

@MeanestTA Wait. Winky's a girl? Ornj girl cat explains so much.

[Dr. Geeka 🔬📊🤦🏼‍♀️ @Geeka]

@PartridgeCG From what I remember, you also need to be aware of the low binding tips (basically anything that's plastic). Some things don't come in that format, so you have to do a blocking step on the plastic to defeat binding. (I don't remember what we used.)
