An unstoppable force meeting an immovable object. The infinite possibilities… =) (She/Her)
Today I submitted my first application as a “PI.”
Truly, today if I fail, I fail gloriously. 🥲🙏🏽🤲🏽

I have made it 4 months as a postdoc. 💙

Happy December & Happy Friday! ❄️
Lately I have been reflecting on my life - where I have been, where I am currently, & where I would like to go.
In that spirit, I wanted to share a #ScienceHenna design I made while traveling in South Africa for an #echem conference in 2019.
This design is special to me as it both tells part of my journey as a scientist and educator... while also being on a physical journey for science! 🧪 💙 💫
The hood is so clean and fresh with a brand new acid bath!! ✨🌟💫
