I wasn’t expecting a “Happy Father’s Day” text today but in response to the one I sent to my grandpa this morning I got this in return

prelim writing mood board

Congratulations Helen! 🍾🎈💃🏻

A middle school teacher once told me that writing citations was hard and that I would probably never master them. 15 years later and I’m still convinced I have it all wrong, even with reference managers. Y’all let’s not tell trainees what will be too difficult for them to do

For #FluorescenceFriday, we love this #lightsheet image from our @zeiss_micro Z.1! Installed 2 wks before shutdown, now it's popular. Beautiful E9.5 mouse embryo with vascular perfusion from Linh Trinh in @MagnusonMark Lab. Expert imaging with CISR's Nick Mignemi. Scale=200um.

Chasing after that shiny new phenotype

@_emadden They found out you’re an important doctor now and slapped it up

Emily Madden B.S. >> Emily Madden PhD 🎉🎊🍾

@_emadden Girl you aren’t getting away with leaving us AND not coming to the weekly Starbucks zoom

@DTPtoPhD What a great time to be planning a lab murder “mystery”

How I feel sending a bunch of flavivirologists an HSV paper for journal club

@DTPtoPhD ♥️ always here to consume extra baked goods

Maybe...just maybe...I got carried away with my holiday baking

@AltBrutus ...do you want some?

@becCazz_ Have you figured something out for all these taters?

Thanksgiving always reminds me of the importance of detailed protocols. When asked to chop potatoes,the boyfriend chopped EVERY potato in the house.

@AltBrutus We’ve committed to 7+ pounds. Too bad we can’t have 96-well stomachs

@becCazz_ That feeling when you plan to extract RNA and thaw ALL of the samples and then realize it may have been too ambitious of a plan for 1 day but it is too late now...

@DTPtoPhD This speaks to me

Daily To Do List: •Various task ✅ •Various task ✅ •Various task ✅ •RNA extraction •Move “RNA extraction” to tomorrow’s To Do list ✅

Not me actually considering getting a pet (cat) 🙈

@SDulsonPhD @bryancmounce I now understand what it means for something to spark joy 😍

@bryancmounce This one looks like it has dreams and ambitions! @becCazz_

Itty bitty placenta.

@DTPtoPhD @SDulsonPhD @jrniels_ @AltBrutus I wouldn’t say no to lab bagel Tuesdays

@SDulsonPhD @jrniels_ @AltBrutus @becCazz_ I miss bagel tuesdays

I regularly wonder how grad students are eating these days.

@SDulsonPhD I’ve been trading the free pocket-sized bottles of hand sanitizer for pizza
