Ellen 🧬🥼

Hi welcome to my Ted Talk. Vaccinate your kids. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.

I have never spent this much dollars on primers before 🤑

just a 25 year old teenage girl 😕 trying to get her Taqman assay ☹️ to work 😩 even a little bit 😭

taking PTO on Friday so I can sit at home to get @taylorswift13 tickets for Indy and setting my OOO message to “too busy to talk, girlbossing my way to the Eras Tour”

Indiana University is hosting what I believe is the first-ever academic conference entirely dedicated to Taylor Swift. PhDs, grad students, and Swifties, submit a proposal!

@jacobpcupps I mean I know I have daddy issues but damn

why does the algorithm want me to fuck to Elliot Smith

lil Ellen would be so proud 🥹

@mgibbons19 @FromPhDtoLife I definitely did this best in my lab too.

@FromPhDtoLife Depression?

What's a thing you did in grad school you're pretty sure no one else in your lab / department / subfield did, or didn't do as much or as well or as _you_ as you did? 🤔

@FromPhDtoLife Oh god, not at all. Some of the worst weeks of my life. 🙃

@elldoss 😩 I'm sorry / hope that was a positive for you

If 10 year old me met me, I know she’d be ecstatic. -I’m a beekeeper in training -I’m a whole entire scientist that works for a company I dreamed of when I was little -I just took a gig presenting with some of my colleagues at a children’s museum -I have 100+ squishmallows

90% of molecular biology is pipetting very tiny amounts of clear liquids from one container to another. The other 10% is doing math on paper towels. Some days I think I should have listened to my mother and become a wizard.

That feeling when you get your first industry paycheck after leaving academia...in GIF form. GO👇

@LukeMarble6 Rosalind (Rosie for short!)

@elldoss Name?????

Look at my dog

Tired but happy molecular biologist; now back to analyze sequences for the next 4 hours and then garden once I’m off work!

Teaching central dogma, mutations, and basic PCR to 30+ polytechnic high school students today. Gosh, I love my job.

Snuggle puddle 🥹❤️

@Rubenstein_Lab @GIANTmicrobes 1. Yeast 2-n. Everything else n. anything polyploidy

the shelf spread on my desk has grown! finally got my @GIANTmicrobes yeast from @Rubenstein_Lab so I can remember all the yeast I so easily worked with when my plants are being annoyingly difficult (#bestmodelorganism)

ah yes the night sky
