After some waiting, I have finally received two nice little devices that I will have a lot of fun with in the future, both for my PhD studies and professionally.

2x96GB GDDR7 and over 2x24K CUDA cores finally make local experiments much more feasible and easier to plan 🤩

And I am also curious to see how these two beauties will perform when playing games occasionally, I have heard that the GPUs perform extremely well.

Happy to share that my first ever paper (not a first author, but nonetheless) has just been published in Frontiers Microbiology.
Tldr: some insights into mechanisms of bacterial resistance

People of mastodon, have you ever experienced/witnessed being rejected a job because of having a Ph.D.? I've just seen a job posting which explicitly said "Master/Bachelor (no Ph.D.)
Is being overqualified a thing for the industry? Thinking if I should actually finish my Ph.D.
If it's important the field in question is biochemistry.

I hate conflicts, but my colleague has just told me that the problems with the instrument that everyone uses don't concern him. Why don't they? Because he took a key part of the instrument (a column) and brought it to a lab where only he can use it, without asking anyone first.
So now you see, as his problem is solved the rest is "not my problem, I have a place to work, if you want to have the column back bring it back yourself"
I am. So. Mad.

Miraculously, the vacation in the Alps didn't make me any more passionate about going to work.
