Y’all I’m so anxious I am stuffing tip boxes. Also, my jar is empty

I was doing inventory and moving boxes in my tall black boots on lab chairs. Zero effs given for safety. Since my grants won’t be reviewed, I might as well do something! We should start a bartering thing, I have way too many random plates and tissue culture flasks.

Imagine if @aoc @sanders.senate.gov , every dem, SIMULTANEOUSLY held Town Halls where they allowed grant and contract recipients to explain to the country what it is they do and why it's important Invite all media. Including RW podcasters. @spaces Flood the zone Call it a Day Of Transparency

I have a playlist for EVERYTHING So because somebody else might need this, here is my “Hold On” playlist.

I’m thrilled to announce that Nerina Jusufovic’s manuscript on B. burgdorferi PlzA and cyclic-di-GMP has been accepted for publication in Mol Micro. There’s been a lot to sort out regarding this DNA-binding protein that has more in common with histones than with the classic Lac repressor protein 🧫🦠🧪

“Is there anyway M and I could get some more help with this project? We will both have alot on our plate this coming semester and are worried this might be a bit much. “ (M is a tech who is planning a wedding, grad student 2nd year). Is it too much to expect lab work from paid tech and 2nd yr??
