So many ordering errors! My favorite = individually wrapped 1.5 ml tubes. Lab loved setting up experiments with these tubes 😬
In my defense, supply chain shortages & poor vendor description led to a hasty order confirmation 😄

As the Tribute in Lights fades on 9/12, my remembrance always includes today. In college as an EMT, I was a ground zero first responder for <24 hours. I'm thinking a lot about it today like I was yesterday, and hope to see the Tribute in Lights in person one day. Photo credit: Gary Hershorn
