Got a light dusting here in Minneapolis today. To think that just two days ago I was in Cancun… 😂😅

I went to the Minnesota State Fair today with the lab. Finally, I see what all the fuss was about! A fun summer afternoon indeed (and lots of fried food)!

The Jain Lab celebrated the close of its first summer of research yesterday; what a productive and exciting summer it’s been! I can’t believe it’s already been 8 months… 😅

The Jain Lab purified its first protein today! This feels like such a milestone and I’m incredibly grateful to benefit from the years of wisdom and training I received from folks along the way. My lab manager did an excellent job here! #NewPI

#ASBMB25 was just what I needed. I gave a talk (first conference talk as a PI), saw even more amazing science from colleagues, and made some great connections! Now time to get back to the lab and get cracking on all these new ideas!

A busy and momentous week for the Jain Lab! We did our first bit of science (minipreps 😅) and the lab grew with joining of its first two members: research staff Tiffany Engel and Michael Lent!

Stood up for science today at the Minnesota state capitol. Regardless of our personal beliefs, I think we can agree science is a unifying force that betters the lives of all of us. #standupforscience

In lighter news: my FPLC was just installed! I’ve been fascinated and obsessed with FPLCs since college and to have one of my own feels like a very surreal, but also grounding thing. Weirdly one of those “pinch me” moments as a new PI.

I will miss so many people and so many things, but I’m also incredibly eager and excited to form new bonds and relationships in Minnesota! Thanks especially to Brian for his incredible mentorship! Here’s to seeing each other at conferences soon! 2/2
