Very proud of my three wonderful Summer undergrad research fellows, all supported by the Molecular Basis for Disease program at State. All three have done great work and have been a pleasure to have in the lab.

Finally got my iPod touch to turn back on. I bought this with my first PhD pay check. Time to listen to some classic pre 2010 tunes.

Used AI to recreate the strangest bathroom I viewed when I was trying to find an apartment in France. This is a fairly close rendering. Including the off angle steps and it being in the center of the room. It was a bizarre death trap. Just the right height if you fell you’d break your neck.

I’ve got some we designed that can be 3d printed. They are autoclavable (material dependent), fit standard 24 well plate and use regular filter paper. I think I know the ones you are referring too, but I’m blanking on the name. Should have the first paper using our out for pre print soon.

My wonderful colleague Jainliang is looking for PostDocs and PhD candidates. He is doing very cool work and has already secured two major grants, so good chance the right person could spend a decent amount of time on the project. If you know anyone who is looking please put them in touch.
