One day I just wanna come into lab when no one is there, organize everything, set up a system where everything is easy to find & leave just in time to come in & act just as shocked as everyone else when they see a very neat lab

I found a fish tank at the end of the lab hallway with no fish in it... should I ask if I can bring my own fish & keep a lab pet??

I was supposed to work on my midterm today but I accidentally spent all day in lab... I’ve really forgotten how to be a student 😅

For people who suck at actually writing everything down in their lab notebook: can we get Alexa in lab? Like “hey Alexa, cells treated at 3:00pm” Would make my life SO much easier

Delighted to share our lab's newest preprint chemrxiv.org/engage/chemrxi…, which was spearheaded by PhD student Nik and the result of another great collaboration with Alexey Nesvizhskii!

How does it make sense to deny grad student reimbursements for conferences due to the state that the conference is in when I, as a grad student, have NO CONTROL over where conferences for my field of study are held !!

Super excited to share our latest preprint and our first deep dive into understanding how cysteine-reactive electrophiles impact the proteome, causing widespread protein degradation, aggregation, proteasome activation, stress granule formation, and more. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Instead of traditional journal publishing I propose real time blog posting of data & when you have a whole story to tell then you publish a condensed summary, everything related would be publicly accessible on the internet & referenced (linked) in the final summary.

Excited to share our new ChemRxiv preprint that describes CySP3-96 plate-based cysteine chemoproteomic method. Congrats to Flowreen Shikwana and team and thanks to Gustafson Group @ Stony Brook for the atropisomers! and #SergiLabSupplies Sergii Pochekailov for the low cost resin! chemrxiv.org/engage/chemrxi…
