Soooo. Got stuck in an elevator today. A very panic inducing 8 min. Pushed all the buttons. I learned the call button goes straight to 911. I'm a little traumatized cause being stuck in an elevator is a fear of mine.. gonna be using stairs for awhile

What a great @keystonesymposia.bsky.social meeting. I am so energized to get back to lab and apply so much of what we learned. The #immunometabolism community is continually making progress and im excited for the future @tcellogic.bsky.social

This... I had help doing my SciENcv and it was a nightmare and time suck. It's terrible. Don't wait till the last minute..especially if you have multiple PIs.

Every December we deep clean the lab. Defrost freezers and do inventory. I'm proud of our -20. Replanned the space and its so much better. Keeping cold storage functional is work but Hella worth it @cterminiphd.bsky.social gets it 😉

If you’re going to be at #ABRCMS, there are a few opportunities to hear from my lab. Nicole is currently applying to graduate school and Lesley is applying to medical school, and both have been EXCELLENT additions to my lab. Come hear about their work! 👇🏾
