The value of our work, I think, lies in whether our rigorous, reproducible data can be translated into less suffering-- however far down the line.
Not necessarily a new thought, but a good reminder.

researchers have to --in actuality-- generate quality, reproducible data so that it can be used by others, like doctors and researchers at the HCB, to improve lives.

In a mix of naïveté and a sense of deep humility for the work they do, I told the supervisor of their research department that I was a bit embarassed by the small impact of my research, when he asked me what I did.

Ah, and I couldn’t forget: I hope year 2 brings a truce between the mass spec and I.

Oh! And on top of it I really really love my project!
Excited to CUT&RUN more in year 2, especially to dig beyond peak enrichment on the bioinfo side as well as
