Cellular biophysicist at NC State. My lab combines approaches from physics, biology, and engineering to ask how biological molecules self-assemble into cellular-scale machinery that transduces force and performs mechanical functions.
I mostly agree with the original take (fancy potatoes forever!) but this is the one thing pulling me back.

But please, let’s try again next week!

Yesterday I thought it was almost the weekend … so honestly pretty relieved you got this one wrong. If it were only Tuesday, not sure I’d make it through this week.

Do you sell these posters anywhere? I would love to have a nice art print of one and for you to get a cut. :)

Is this cat as gigantic as it appears?

My eldest now voluntarily washes dishes and it is the absolute BEST.

Oh this is an interesting interpretation! I think I'm also a little bit irrationally worried that it's the *sample* that might be looking back at me (what about those zebrafish we're torturing?), but it could be the scope itself! Either way I think this could be a fun one to animate.

I’ve got one for a dad, which means I have had this Grant for nearly 40 years now

Glad we cleared that up 😂

Wallace. I have questions. (Mostly about the chair level pan of EtBr?!!?!)

Not a literal fear, but when I was starting out as a microscopist, I had a weird feeling of unease every time I approached the eyepieces that something was going to be looking back at me. Could make for a good animation?

This happened to me (flooding from the floor above) during my postdoc. Luckily (?) it was mostly on the computer and stage controller (both of which had to be replaced). Someone upstairs had let a sink run until it overflowed! 😡

This keeps coming across my feed and every time I get it in my head again. Why’d you choose violence, Michael?
