Depending on the room I’m in I’m either an immunologist or an engineer. Doing science at NIH. views my own.
We had an important experiment on Thursday and cracked a new vial of an antibody — which didn’t work. Re-tested Friday, and we were sent a bum antibody. That wasted so so much work 😭 science is cruel sometimes.
Tech: “You got an early start today”
Me: “Well when I ask my lab to do crazy I tend to try to participate in the crazy”
Attempting to get some experiments done for a manuscript revision and tenure advisory meeting next week.
I guess here’s my intro — I’m a scientist who used to play across hay bales for fun growing up & got 2nd place in a high school county science fair one time. Now I do research for a living, focusing on #immunoengineering & how our immune cells could be targeted not just for fighting viruses but healing wounds. NIH-er, tenure-track, not a prof — yes I “left academia”. Skip to 53:30, you’ll get the gist: https://youtu.be/426T6VgPvz4
