Me, talking @MontclareLabs:
Dialysis is an important step because it allows the slow removal of the denaturant and a pathway for our proteins to fold properly again.

My brain, also: 💫 💫💫

my great mentor who helped me take my first steps while working in @MontclareLabs. I am grateful to be guided by a respectful and patient mentor, such as @kamia_punia.
I hope to continue learning much more from you!

Kiddo & friend were interviewed at the #climatestrikenyc
Interviewer: what’s a quote abt #ClimateChange that you have?
K: I think climate change is worse than homework!

To anyone about to start a PhD: you’re not expected to know everything about your project before you start. PhD projects are niche and will cover stuff that you haven’t been taught before.

I am just absolutely lost as to how to write up a research proposal.
I haven't even figured out enough about myself to write a research statement...

@SarahMackAttack What a visionary 👌

[Jay Kang @hjaykang]

Thanks @AlainaGLevine for coming to @nyutandon. You really helped change my gameplan to pursue a career in #STEM

I am glad I attended @AlainaGLevine career/professional development session. I feel less nervous exploring the #STEM field thanks to her advice. Totes awesome!

I would just look things up on the internet and hope to see any position that fits my skills, but this slapped me awake because the position that best fits me is not always waiting for me or advertised.
It can be found in all sorts of places.

Fluorescent microscopy has also helped me see proteins up close🧐. It's also cool to see those bright colors🤩😏👏👏👏

Tracking fluorescent beads! From the bead movement we can extract mechanical properties of the fluid. #fluorescencefriday
