how long my PI thinks an experiment will take to prepare = x hours
how long i think an experiment will realistically take to prepare = 1.2x hours
how long it will actually be = 4x^2 + 2(# of meetings i have that week) + 0.5(current anxiety on a 10 point scale)

Did you learn something “basic” but exciting lately? I want to hear about it in the replies, pretty please!

[Victoria Jones @labrat65632]

I’m learning lots of neat stuff at my new job! mini thread? mini thread.

i think in the scope of science twitter this is kind of baby stuff, but if any of you know anything about me at this point it must be that i am mostly a baby.

So incredibly proud and excited to debut the first issue of Ginkgo's annual magazine, Grow. Synthetic biology is beautiful, complex, messy, and full of what if's. We wanted to create a brand that showed people that.

I’ve hired a few people in my time.

I’ve never been disappointed by hiring someone who is less technical but is a great human who cares for others.

I can teach tech pretty easily.

But boy have I seen people who are strong technical people with toxic attitudes destroy a team.

running an assay on an automated instrument is like having a tamagotchi that can ruin your life

TIL about Ben Barres, renowned neurobiologist & first trans member of the National Academy of Sciences!! Reading about his life, his work, and his mentoring is extremely moving. How can we lbgtq+ scientists keep his legacy alive?

I did my first assay at the new job today! it’s 80 degrees in the lab so it might have to get run again but! I did it!
