@clhubes Our 3 year old told us the baby was a rat that accidentally got in the house and needed to be put back outside.

At almost 5 and 2 they're kinda sweet to each other now...in between the screaming.

@ShannonSkalos I made the terrible decision to get the COVID booster in one arm and the flu in the other.

@jgschraiber My brother does.....Florence, CO.

[Dr. Serena Caplins @SapCaps]

@clhubes Yup. Our 4 yr goes to bed at 9pm and our 1.5 yr old wakes up at 5am, which should amount to enough sleep, but when do I get things done lol.

@KYT_ThatsME Same. There was a house for sale here that was asking $750/SQ ft when the average is $450. I hated everything about that house and was happy it never sold. Sat for 3 months before they pulled the listing.

These remind me of 'super sad true love story.'

A book that came out 13 years ago but feels like we're there.

That wild TikTok live performer vid makes so much more sense when you see the pricing of the gifts.

“GangGang” and “Ice Cream” are the cheapest (1 coin) while “Hat and moustache” break the bank (99 coins).

@origamicrab This sounds so not fun. And my experience with maternity leave interviews was also kinda rough. So I'm very glad that you get more time!

Anyone at the lookout for an #rstats data scientist position? My* team at AstraZeneca is looking for another ds to work on analysis of real-world cancer datasets. It's remote, 12 month contract position, based in the US. Details to follow but would be great for #altac people! 1/n

@JackieLebz @Emma_Churchman Just try to treat every sample the same. If some may be stored at room temp for a few hours...store them all at room temp for the same time, and then the freezer.

[Dr. Serena Caplins @SapCaps]

@JackieLebz @Emma_Churchman It's made for fieldwork!:
RNAlater preserves RNA in tissues for up to 1 day at 37 °C, 1 week at 25 °C, and 1 month at 4 °C. Tissues can also be stored at -20 °C long-term.

@ShannonSkalos Same I get burnt when it's cloudy and I'm wearing sunblock 😞 damn genetics.

[Dr. Serena Caplins @SapCaps]
