The best post-qualifiers celebrations is re-reading “Demon in the Freezer” by the pool in Vegas 12 years later and understanding the immunology and biology referenced!

This book was the start of my science journey so long ago and now I’m a PhD Candidate!!!!

A year ago I had my first day of work here at the University of Michigan! Today I’m celebrating with a good ole 17h day of flow cytometry! Fortunately it’s hour 14 and one panel is fully stained!

[Nicole Racca @nicolemracca]

Not only did I get my first successful microfluidics run done but I did four batches today! What even! It’s really the little wins that mean a lot.

Ran my first Western Blot yesterday/today and supposedly I have been told that it went successfully 🥳 Must be beginners luck 😅
