"Creativity is seeing what others see and thinking what no one else has thought" -Albert Einstein

And that's my reason for reading, Lateral Thinking by Edward De Bono.
A book that trains your brain to think differently.

My data values showed patterns I couldn't understand.

I knew I was missing.

And I found myself back to the fundamentals.

For anyone interested in cell biology, I highly recommend Essential Cell Biology by Bruce Alberts.

Biologists: “I’ll organize my data tomorrow.”

Younger me: I can't get started with writing a literature review. Can you help me?
Me: Oh my. Yes. I can.
Let me give you 6 simple steps to begin. Here they are:

A workflow that simplified how I approach literature reviews.

Hope it helps you as well :)

How could I not be fascinated?

Beautiful protein molecules, perfectly packed inside tiny crystals.

Tomorrow, we share stories while sipping coffee and having fun.

Our faculty at the @unioulu.bsky.social is organizing a gathering for researchers to share the stories behind their science.

Working with a new protein?

My first step: Uniport

It’s like watching a trailer before watching the full movie.
A database with functions, structures, interactions, and more.

Whether studies, research, or just curiosity, it gave me the context I needed.

I thought students didn’t care about science.
Then I introduced Oulu’s 9th graders to Biochemistry.
They lit up.
The issue isn’t disinterest—
It’s the absence of someone saying:
“You’ve got this. I’ve got your back.”
