Awesome being in a department with so many ppl willing to help. Working on riboseq prep this morning. It took 3 labs to get missing reagents we needed. Wish us luck for good results!

I've posted many times about how productive I am on planes. It's confirmation that I need to schedule more quiet time to just think. That's what a plane is for me. Forced time with my thoughts... no distractions.
