Come for the science, stay for the food

Science doesn’t need to go according to plan; it just needs to lead to a discovery. If doesn’t have to be done alone or together with a buddy; there just needs to be a discovery. It doesn’t need to happen fast or slow; just as long as there’s a discovery, then everybody is happy.

A discovery doesn't usually happen as a single moment but in 3 phases: 1. Observing the results from experiments & analyses, 2. Realizing the big story when writing up the paper, 3. Understanding what's truly new about the work when presenting to friends, reviewers & audiences.

"For half an hour, I vented everything I had been holding in for months … my supervisor listened patiently, then calmly offered a line I’ll never forget: 'You are here to learn to ride a bicycle, not to invent a bicycle.' That one sentence landed softly, but it cracked

A great thing about working in a lab is being involved in lab meetings and witnessing everyone's projects take shape. A single project may seem to go slow but all projects together is impressive. Caroline Bartman discussed this on the podcast: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/28-…

We have to remember that what we observe is not nature herself, but nature exposed to our method of questioning. -- W. Heisenberg (Physics and Philosophy, 1958)

Protein synthesis may be the central dogma of life, but many details about it remain a mystery. At IISc, Tanweer Hussain and his lab are uncovering how this protein-making machinery is regulated. Read more: kernel.iisc.ac.in/what-it-takes-… #IIScresearch
