I haven’t bought running tights in nearly a decade, so imagine my sticker shock while shopping today. Average retail price was ~$95. For tights. 🤯

After decades of using excel, I finally learned today that there’s such a thing as a cell reference 🤦🏻‍♀️🤯

After bookmarking a ton of recipes on IG, I finally made one tonight. Beef noodle soup in the instant pot! It was relatively easy and delicious, would definitely recommend www.instagram.com/reel/C6ptkSd...

You can limit responses to drinks, food…or not. Some people have crazy ideas

Adorable, tiny mushrooms spotted on my hike today

After years of having my music library in limbo, when iTunes & my old Mac both decided to retire, I finally transferred my library to my new Mac. Hooray!

…only to find that a subscription to Apple Music is required to sync the library over iCloud to my iPhone 😒

Ridiculously excited about the new Sprouts that recently opened less than 4 miles away. We have several Lucky & Safeway stores that are closer, but the quality of the produce and meats is SAD.

(Yes, I know there are farmers markets but that requires advanced planning)

Fair point, I didn’t zoom in. It’s been a while since I took HSR 😅

I’m pretty sure every row has one. The airport MRT I was on also had wireless charging

I present to you: my annual Christmas cinnamon rolls 🤤

Happy holidays, y’all!

So far, the most useful application of SafeGPT (our company’s version of ChatGPT) is to make the occasional borderline angry/aggro emails sound more professional & pleasant 😆

The Sound of Music happens to be on tv and it’s giving me life 🎶

Every conference in San Diego should start with Crack Shack 🍗🐓

Then it makes sense that I went from wrangling worms to frogs 😂

Kept the process but changed models

#Celegans - worm pickers?

Back to work after 2 weeks off 😅
At least I can look forward to ASCB/Cell Bio in sunny San Diego! Who will be there? Come to the @leicamicrosystems.bsky.social booth & say hi!

🙋🏻‍♀️
Stop by the Leica booth and say hi!

Taiwan has amazing food, but its coffee could use some help. It’s often watered-down machine espresso-based drinks or super expensive (either pour over or something that I think is vacuum based)
I’m back in the US & just brewed a pot of freshly ground coffee & it’s heavenly ☕️🥰

We are so excited that @janfunkey.bsky.social has agreed to give the keynote seminar for @qiatcshl.bsky.social 2025 @cshlnews.bsky.social! 🔬🖥️ 🛤️ Applications due 1/31/2025. t.co/x87ngy34UC

A love letter to Taiwan's meticulous — and frustrating — trash collection system NPR's Emily Feng bids goodbye to Asia — and to Taiwan's strict trash collection system, which she unexpectedly grew to love.

So, NPR let me do an audio postcard on my very particular trash routine in Taiwan that turned into more of a self-reflective essay on my neuroses...

Proof that I’m eating other food besides noodles and dumplings

It is the best I’ve ever had! Definitely recommend if you’re ever in Taipei

We had a belated Thanksgiving celebration yesterday (Saturday) with Peking duck & dim sum instead of turkey and stuffing. 10/10 ✨

In Taiwan, so no turkey for me this thanksgiving! I had beef noodle soup for lunch and mushroom pasta for dinner 😋
Noodles all day, every day!

Not getting any love on my food posts so far, how about this video from my run this morning?

Day 3: hot pot with AYCE salad bar. Not pictured: large selection of soft drinks, tea, coffee, Meiji ice cream, & soft serve

Din Tai Fung is known for their xiaolongbao (soup dumplings) but my personal favorite is the chili oil wontons. The sauce is 🔥 and goes great with any of the fried rice dishes. Don’t sleep on the cucumbers and hot & sour soup

Gold stud earrings in the shape of adenoassociated viruses

Silver stud earrings in the shape of ion channels

2 rectangular necklace pendants of a serotonin molecule constellation, one in silver and the other gold

Three rows of enamel pins showing gloved hands with long fingernails holding blue 1000 microliter pipettes. The gloves in each row are purple, pink, and blue, respectively.

Sneak peek of the new stuff this season in the twophotonart.com shop! 🧠🧪

(Technically we are saying that we won’t start shipping orders til Dec 3, but I don’t leave town til tomorrow so if you order something in the next few hours, I’ll slip it in the post 🤗)
