We had to make a form to handle the incoming responses. Here it is. Share it. Our immediate needs are marketing experts, 5th grade teachers, app developers, and grantwriters/fundraisers. An IP attorney as well. We've made great progress. We have 67 days. https://t.co/Y74p6V9EbG

My mom made me the most amazing cat quilt! She embroidered little whiskers and heart noses (Merlin has a heart nose). She also sewed tails on each one with a custom quilting pattern she made up🥹 I love it and Merlin does too ❤️🤗

Does anyone else put their gel back together like a puzzle after cutting out bands?

@mike_feigin My program doesn’t do this, but a moving stipend would have been really really helpful!!

There needs to be more repercussions for people that clog the flow cytometer 😠 like you’re actively hurting other people’s experiments

This makes me think of some more annoying science nomenclature. Restriction enzymes could have been Sap1 and not SapI but no, we had to be difficult.

What do people do between leases? I’ve managed to do early move-in for the past couple of moves, but I don’t know if I can swing it this time… The Urbana-Champaign area almost exclusively has leases ending 7/31 and starting 8/15. I don’t have family close 🫠
