My grandma has been telling everybody I work on white and red blood cells, and researching ABO types. She's also telling them I could have worked in private for the money but chose to work in public for the people. Close enough.

Check out this incredible gift to me and L from @CellAdvoKate -- an artisan-made glass B cell with a colored nucleus and interesting membrane protrusions (actin-dependent of course). Very, very special! Thanks @CellAdvoKate for all that you've contributed to our labs.

@MikeGoldVan Thanks Mike and @LindaMatsuuchi for all your mentorship. It was a pleasure to be part of the labs.

The new lego lab set from @NEBiolabs is awesome! Now I can expand on the lab I got from @thermofisher 😊 Next step is @LEGO_Group tenure!

This is the funniest thing I've had in my spam box this year

Terrible that Bonnie didn't get the symposium she deserved due to mic placement issues. About 60 people on zoom and we asked to put a mic on her jacket but the facilitator did not want to interupt and asked us to read the captions. The captions: @GairdnerAwards @ubclifesciences

Thank you to @MikeGoldVan for the lab pizza party. It's great to sit together to chat and catch up on everything.

Micropalooza! Can count on Dave and Craig to give an awesome performance!

Listening to a talk about eIF2B and triggering PTSD from BIOC410 where I was barely managing to memorize all the components of the cell cycle, transcription, and translation complexes and the binding order 🥲

So ya, this is our lab's famous floating box. It's in the especially cold corner of the fridge and got frozen. Now it hovers there forever.

Remember this? I felt bad for having to cut it up so I can use them as reflectors on my windows. It has become unbearable and even two fans don't help much

Our lab members are uncontrollable snackers. Day 1 and one pack of cookies is already gone. Thanks @MikeGoldVan @LMatsuuchi for the cookies!
