I finally caved and splurged on the Fractal Terra. My build was already well-oriented toward small form factor, just needed an SFX power supply. Thermals are looking pretty good so far, but time will tell….

Disconnected yesterday and enjoyed a lot of nature. Athena wasn’t allowed on the mini-incline so I took her on a different hike. 130+ stairs and a couple miles later… 😴😴😴

I couldn't ever keep cell lines alive, but at least my first attempt at sourdough worked out. #chemistswhocook (this was absolutely stress baking from the weekend)

Sad I didn’t hike more while I was in Appalachia. I guess grad school will do that. But very happy I moved to a place with so many easily accessible trails with stunning scenery.

Happy turkey feasting day to all! ☺️

Thanksgiving prep under way! Ethan and I have taken to breaking down the turkey the day before which is a game changer. You can use the offcuts for stock for gravy and cook the actual turkey in like an hour. No dry white meat, and the best gravy ever.

Well this explains a lot of silly arguments over what color my coffee mug is. (It’s definitely blue)

Started the weekend with a great view of Pike’s Peak with my two favorite partners in crime. ☺️

What a cozy start to a chilly day! Perfect moment before a chaotic rest of the week. ☺️

Post a picture you took (no description) to bring some zen to the timeline

My corner of Colorado is almost finally melted… but it’s so nice to be back in real snow 🥰

hello friends! I am Julia, a recent biochem PhD grad! I’m still figuring out my next steps, and ultimately am enjoying some time off after really burning out. I’m excited to see more community in science here! Let’s talk accessibility in higher education, the outdoors, cooking, and biochemistry. 🧬🧪
