This project started in early COVID. At the time I wasn’t sure if we’d ever science again—the world might’ve been ending. I just wanted to give my students something normal during chaotic times, so they quantified images I sent them. TLDR: TRAK//MOM/MIRO interaction kinetics say something important.

We also talked a bunch about how FRET and FRAP are acronyms and also verbs to some of us.

It wasn’t making fun of the student. It also wasn’t behind their back. We talked about it as a beauty of living language. It truly was fun to share that moment. For both of us.

No apologies needed. Screen didn’t power on, haven’t double checked the lamp yet (was in the middle of teaching a class of 15 students spread across 6 other working scopes), plugged in and tried multiple wall plugs and power cords. I’ve got time to tinker with it tomorrow.
