@LuciaGimLo @llaumagrl @t1merickson @maddie_sofia The colour seems like a good match for the purple loading dye that NEB likes to send out with their restriction enzymes, but anyone trying to run PCR reactions with that volume… what a waste! 😬

First egg of the year is full of wishes for Ukraine. 🇺🇦

I LOVED this book. So to share the love, I'm giving way 5 copies with a signed bookplate. UK ONLY. If you like your fantasy political with queer romance, chimeras and a Prince more sultry than @benbarnes' Darkling, this is for you! #BookTwitter #Competition #WritingCommunity

@naominovik @DEDiscourse Beautiful, but sad they did not feature preserved cherries! (That’s one of my favourite moments: preserved cherries in tea)

@HABrazeau Masks help with the whole breathing-wrong-contaminates-your-sample-thing. If one is that worried about it. ;) Fwiw I am glad I /am/ that kind of biologist. Give me pipettes and tiny volumes any day: it’s like magic.

Why spend 4 minutes doing something in Excel when you can do it in R in 4 hours?

I just discovered that a big biotech company sells precast /agarose/ gels. For £16 each? Who is buying these? 🤔

My imposter is LOUD today. Wish she’d learn when to just pipe down. Yes, I already know what I want to improve: shush, dear. #MondayMood

@MMendlowPhD The tolerance paradox meets the lack of specific enough terminology. :( Tantrum doesn’t quite carry the weight I want it to, but closer?

@k8thek8 Hahahahah, wow that’s destruction! Nico tears apart boxes, but has never torn apart the cardboard from his baby scratch pad 🤣

@SamanthaStrudel I’m a year and a half out from my PhD and feeling more and more human the longer I’m out! I’m still in the academy, but as a gun for hire now (technician). It has done wonders for my mental health to have regular working hours and to resist ‘if I just do one more step today…’

@HABrazeau Meanwhile on the other side of the ocean we are repealing the mask mandate again next week. 🙄😬

[Rachael A. Wyatt @wyattr_a]

@Lauren_Langbein Well shoot. I canceled my order last week, but maybe they finally would have panned out 🤣

[Rachael A. Wyatt @wyattr_a]

Now if I can also manage to feed and water myself properly we’ll be laughing 🤣

Got to lean on the small things: found the perfect restriction enzyme to mutagenize into a plasmid backbone I’m working on, and got the very sick cat to eat a tablespoon of food. #winning #urinaryobstruction #MolecularCloning

Spent a couple hours on this so far today. It’s coming together.

First bread of the year: success! I’m excited to go back to work this week, and now I have bread to make some sandwiches for lunch!

[Rachael A. Wyatt @wyattr_a]

@Fiona_Doc Both series are adult dark fantasy with a good dusting of political struggle! Really great books all of them! I’ve got several shelves now of amazing current female fantasy authors, happy to make recommendations!

Why are north American and British covers different from each other 😭 my trilogies are mismatched! Gotta say, though: the British covers are kind of killing it for me.

[Rachael A. Wyatt @wyattr_a]

@Geek_MomLG @ravenscimaven This is soooo gorgeous! I wish I had the hands for this kind of beautiful work :(
