Jealous that Wartburg students get four days between finals and graduation instead of four minutes! 😑

I haven’t spent this much time doing experiments since grad school, but I accomplished some simple fluorescence today! Gemcitabine-treated (bottom) pancreatic cancer cells are more apoptotic than control (top)!

New fave exam answer. “Explain how nodes of Ranvier increase action potential conductivity”: “If Paul Revere had to stop at every house to tell them, “The redcoats are coming,” he never would have saved America!”

Always worth saying!!
Most scientific accolades are tokens of a power structure that favors rubbing elbows, pedigree, and politicking and disfavors prioritizing work-life balance and mental health. I won’t measure my worth by the opinion of those who gate-keep success under the guise of “prestige.”
