Here I am with the smartest creature in the lab and wishing everyone a happy Chinese New Year 🧧🧧🧧🧧🐉🐉🐉

Despite the extreme weather outside, our amoebas are in good conditions!!!! Their food is freshly “cooked” 🤤 and they are fully prepared for “eating” 👩🏻‍🔬👩🏻‍🔬

[Shanshan Wang @shanfrombeijing]

Team work makes the dream work! When your lab member is busy with their blots, you’ve got to make the most of the rest of the space and get your blots with ponceau staining! It’s quick and efficient!!!

Here is a sneak peek of my ongoing big experiments this week. One of my favourite tasks in the lab is to organize my stuff with limited space (my organizing skill is self-recognized world class 🤭🤭🤭🤭

[Shanshan Wang @shanfrombeijing]

Here is another dedicated day for our amazing friend amoeba !!!!!!

[Shanshan Wang @shanfrombeijing]

Wow!!

[Stories Of Beijing @StoryOfBeijing]

In order to let students know the history of #Beijing's food, Tsinghua University recently held a "Beijing Famous Snacks" activity. By tasting Beijing snacks, students gained a deeper understanding of the city's history and food culture.

[Shanshan Wang @shanfrombeijing]

@HayleySGorman Don’t be jealous of me spending such a quality time with amoeba!!! Hope you are having/had a good time in Hawaii⛱️

[Shanshan Wang @shanfrombeijing]

How is your thanksgiving going? I’ve got to hang out with my favourite amoeba!!!!!

[Shanshan Wang @shanfrombeijing]

Tomorrow my beautiful colleague @HayleySGorman is going to present her brilliant PhD work. Come and learn everything about mucus!!!!! Go MUCUS!!! Go!!!!!

If you feel you need a boost on Monday, come to our amoeba kingdom and take a deep sniff of the best perfume in the world—TYI! (yummy food for the parasite)

[Shanshan Wang @shanfrombeijing]

On a busy Western blot day, all you need to do is building a second floor for your blots🤭🤭

[Shanshan Wang @shanfrombeijing]

A beautiful working day starts with a huge autoclave mission 👍🏻💪🏻

[Shanshan Wang @shanfrombeijing]

And just 30 seconds later, here comes another one 😉

[Shanshan Wang @shanfrombeijing]

Sometimes I have mixed feelings on the reagents that I received and also first opened by me. Like now, I am making the TYI for the parasites in the lab and this reminds me in 2021, I do not know much about how to take care of our parasites in the lab but right now I am an expert.

I am so proud of myself 👩🏻‍🔬🍻

[Hugh Kearns @ithinkwellHugh]

Every day I am in awe of international students. Doing a PhD in your native language and home country is hard. Doing it in a non-native language, in a different country and different culture is so much harder. You are not stupid. You are legends.

[Shanshan Wang @shanfrombeijing]

Monday morning, Monday science 🧪👩🏻‍🔬🧬🦠🧫

[Shanshan Wang @shanfrombeijing]

Who does not like MUCUS?!!! The freshly out of press work by my beautiful colleague @HayleySGorman 🎉🎉

[Hayley S Gorman, PhD @HayleySGorman]

Who wants to talk about mucus?!

Beyond excited to share our work that characterized a goblet cell protein, FCGBP, in the MUC2 mucus layer.

Check it out, especially if you like high resolution pictures of mucus 😎

Who doesn’t want to have a bottle of freshly made TYI beer on a Friday night?!! 🍻
