No offense but what the hell else are people using to look at RNA transcript levels quickly/ cheaply? Or looking at the optimal number of cycles for PCR? Am I crazy?

Germany doing weird nationalism as a whole thing is nuts to me. Your nation was founded post American civil war! Most oldish universities have operational buildings older than your country! You should be embarrassed!

Stand strong my wonderful fandom sisters in arms

Curious as to which podcasts you listen too

Also no offense but as a biologist being non-white and female does not actually make you stand out that much? Like most of academia, there are less female biology profs than male ones, and sure white pro ppl e gave an advantage, but like … more than half of PhDs in biology are women!

Bro for all we flame Richard Dawkins I remember his memoir being lowkey fire.

As like a ten year old my parents let me read the selfish gene and then all of Richard Dawkins books. for one brief year I became a Reddit atheist without ever having been exposed to Reddit or religious.

Do you own this sick trench coat irl

I want one of those Chinese electric utility vehicles sooo bad. I know that they can’t go on freeways but idgaf. What if a car was smol and cute. Or a fiat 500e.

??? To be fair I didn’t know what this was until looking it up, but it’s quite weird to be like “oh man genocide occurred elsewhere and to other populations” as a whataboutism. There’s no horrific events competition to win! More than one terrible thing can happen!

He’s just not that into you?

Loved biology, couldn’t stand / didn’t care about doing clinical day to day administration and whatnot involved in med school. Started doing genetics research and I was hooked!

Wait what

Went into this field saying to myself “Nah we’re never doing the plot of the movie GATTACA. That’d be ridiculous! And too complicated! I want to help fix horrible rare genetic diseases!” And now a small but not insignificant number of people are like “Damm I’d love to make GATTACA real”

Make the pope play shadow doge
