“Even when I was an assistant professor, I would say things like, ‘I’m a researcher.’ I wouldn’t say I’m a scientist.” Nobel Laureate Ardem Patapoutian made groundbreaking discoveries about the sense of touch. But he didn’t always have a sense of belonging in science.
Even Nobel Prize Winners Deal With Imposter Syndrome
Neuroscientist Ardem Patapoutian immigrated to the US, found belonging in science, and did groundbreaking work on sense of touch.

Dear #PlantSci community, we are interested in building transformation-competent artificial chromosome (TAC) libraries from gDNA. Does anyone know if there are companies or core labs, which provide this as a service? Please DM any leads to me. I greatly appreciate the help. Cheers
