Officially earned my PhD from @MITdeptofBE!
Here’s 1 lesson I learned in each year of grad school:🧵
1. Pick advisors that care about you. Not just the science, but your happiness & life goals. Your life WILL fall apart ≥1 time in grad school & you will need advisor support.

@neely615 @educhicano @ProteomicsNews @UCDProteomics @PastelBio @AlfaroJav @wilhelm_compms @compomics There are a million different protocols for isolating MHC peptides, but the best method is the one that works for you! All people and labs have their own preferences and tricks

@neely615 @educhicano @ProteomicsNews @UCDProteomics @PastelBio @AlfaroJav @wilhelm_compms @compomics I did a webinar for thermo a few years ago that has a general overview of the field and some specific info on search methods. https://t.co/r5mRP9Phcr

Exciting news yesterday for @AethonTx, our partnership with Revolution Medicines was announced, bringing together two powerful anti-KRAS strategies!

Anyone have suggestions for a reputable CRO who does IF on mouse in vivo samples?

Heading to Barcelona 💃🇪🇸 tomorrow to give a lecture at the @EMBO targeted proteomics course! Looking forward to meeting the attendees & chatting mass spec!

Helping get the @AethonTx lab off the ground & getting back into the lab full time attacking new [hard] scientific questions has re-energized me in a way I didn’t know possible.

JOIN THE STARTUP. TAKE THE RISK. You’ll feel 26 again 🤓

@RyuhjinAhn @SRC_CRS @LDI_ILD @McGillGCI @kochinstitute WOW! Congrats, Angela!!!! 🤩

[Lauren Stopfer, PhD @lstops]

The best training for a startup is to do everything yourself in academia, and to outsource everything in industry. In a startup, time vs money is a constant balancing act

[Lauren Stopfer, PhD @lstops]

@blhorton @stefanispranger @TheWittrupLab @MIT @Stanford @kochinstitute @MITBiology @sitcancerECS Nice work!! Congrats to all!

@selimawebb I made this twitter in high school with lstops was my nickname 😅 luckily it’s not really my nickname anymore!!!!

Starting a #startup update: 6 months later, the lab is open for business 🤓

The amount of steps between signing a lab lease to actually starting the science is wild but looking around today, I can’t believe how far we’ve come. PINCH ME!!

Has the @tronmainz cell line portal been down for anyone else?

This is my favorite resource and I’m feeling lost without it working… HELP!

Something special is beginning here, I can feel it ✨#startuplife

Week one in BioTech is complete! ✅

And the Polaroid collecting has begun…

@_DougBrubaker @Delta @AmericanAir I am stranded (though luckily I’m with my sister) and have been for several days now haha. My latest rebooking is 6am tomorrow… but this will be my 8th attempt

[Lauren Stopfer, PhD @lstops]

I have been scheduled on 7 different cancelled flights from CLE > JFK/LGA over the past 48 hours from @Delta and @AmericanAir. At first it was weather, but now it certainly is not. Send funny jokes my way 😭

[Lauren Stopfer, PhD @lstops]

@byu_sam @Delta @AmericanAir I really hate driving and 8 hours is about 4 hours too much for me 😕
