[BuccoCapital Bloke @buccocapital]

The contrast between working in tech from 2010-2020 vs 2020-now is so jarring to think about I sometimes feel like the 2010's couldn't have been real

I bet Thiel has observed how remarkably autist-unfriendly biology is for a science

[Douglas Yao @DouglasYaoDY]

Peter Thiel said that the lack of progress in biology is partially due to a lack of talent.

I was pHing solutions at the lab bench when my colleague out of nowhere says to me, “I saw fanart… of sans undertale giving birth”

[anna miranda @hippocampectomy]

I wish I had a garden for brush turkeys to destroy

[anna miranda @hippocampectomy]

coworker told me their institution wouldn’t let them graduate from their phd if they didn’t have a twitter presence, holy shit

[anna miranda @hippocampectomy]

I just cannot get used to people saying “… lives rent free in my head” in real life
