My office yesterday! I spent some time exploring the Shasta River and a couple of it's tributaries in Siskiyou County.

Nature is for everyone!

🏳️‍🌈🌈Happy Pride Month🌈🏳️‍🌈

Coming back to Milan after an exciting #AAASmtg… layover in Zurich.
Texting @gaiapigino.bsky.social , my wife, who I know is leaving for San Francisco.
Turns out she was only a few steps away. 🥜 😆
Quick kiss, and hop in our respective ✈️s! #scientistlife

In the middle of it all. 🫶

Between measurements, decisions, and small details, this is where things start to take shape. 👩🏻‍🔬

There’s something familiar in learning with your hands.🍝🧪

Not everything today happens at the nanoscale but the curiosity feels the same.👩🏻‍🔬👩🏻‍🍳

Pupils: I want to be a scientist
Students: I want to be a scientist
People: Being a scientist must be amazing
Scientists: I want to open a bakery

Based on a true story 😅

Having a mid-career crisis?

It's not uncommon for a scientist to feel a drift or loss of momentum a decade or so after earning their PhD. Check out this Nature column for some advice on how to overcome this career lull: https://ow.ly/4s3R50YCBSS #ProfDev #MidCareerCrisis #ScientistLife 🧪
The mid-career reset: how to be strategic about your research direction
A decade after completing a PhD, your research can begin to lose direction. So consider each opportunity carefully, says Mohamed Ezat.

TFW you think you have your RNAseq issues sorted only to discover error codes in half the .csv files 🫠

TFW you wake up from designing an experiment in your dreams and take a minute to think whether you have the reagents... #ScientistLife

How many times have you written 2025 instead of 2026 so far?

I work in a lab, I have to put initials and date on everything I use. So I stopped counting 😂
