For my molec cell class's final project, they need to create a public-friendly infographic/pamphlet/social media thread/video of a common public misconception related to course topics, where they share info to help ppl make their own decisions (NOT to persuade people with opinions).

I have the hardest time explaining biological vs technical replicates to students (and colleagues 😶🌫️) who have taken a lot of cell/molec classes.
Why isn't pseudoreplication discussed more prominently in those classes?

finally got a response from hr last night and the official offer today (one day before my last day lmao)
i cannot express how incredibly relieved i am and just how much i cried last night. very excited for new prospects and more molec bio work!!
i start monday!!!!

still waiting on hr but my new pi does not seem concerned so that’s a huge sigh of relief. the timeline will vary based on hr’s decision but i do not think i’m at risk of losing my new job like it seemed
so incredibly tired after all the stress yesterday but now i can calm down. thank god man

A fertilized insect egg doesn't repeatedly divide like a vertebrate egg. Instead, its nucleus duplicates itself thousands of times (6000 in fruit flies). These nuclei migrate to the cell periphery, where the membrane folds around them to form cells. (Alberts et al., Molec Bio of the Cell, 7th ed)
