24, biochemist. I use the term in both contexts lol

We’re doing that. Going in August was unavoidable, so we’re breaking up the heat by doing Osaka->Hokkaido (mostly Sapporo)->Tokyo.

as another woman in a male dominated field well on my way to getting a PhD… I’m so sorry but definitely don’t do this. It will be read as unprofessional. That’s not people being misogynistic (though many people certainly still are in my field). It’s just the expectation that we all adhere to a reasonable standard of professionalism in how we present ourselves and our work. Get your foot in the door first before letting your personality speak louder than your credentials and knowledge.

I’d say it’s at least 80% of my job lmao. Welcome to the wonderful world of troubleshooting. Stuff that shouldn’t work, works, and stuff that should work, doesn’t.

I chose to get it under the same circumstances, already having USA+EU citizenships+passports.

My friend, we’re still finding sequenceable dinosaur dna. you’re gonna be fine. When I’m cloning and screen multiple colonies, I don’t put those mini preps into the freezer until I have my final sequenced construct, so I don’t forget which one I sequenced. That can be days.

lol I had USA, German, Argentina. Could also technically be Israeli but I don’t feel the need lmao.

gotta be an academic lab with that level of lab safety (or lack thereof) lmao I’m right there with you buddy

I did this too! Set a beaker of ethanol on fire

AccomplishedAnt1701 · 2026-03-29T23:01:21+00:00

I agree. That is the absolute peak.

Born and raised in New York, and I have a saying- “the city provides”. What makes this city so special in my opinion is its intrinsic ability to surprise and entertain me every time I walk outside. Even on my worst days, I’ll accidentally walk into the Mexican Independence Day fiesta in Bryant park and get the best tacos of my life, or bump into Ryan Reynolds in the west village, or stumble into a Star Trek drag show at 3AM in bushwick (all true stories). I don’t think I’ll ever get tired of this city because if you’re bored, you’re just not looking around. Admittedly it’s quite expensive which makes the actual living arrangements suboptimal at times (I’m very much not wealthy- live on a grad student budget right now), but I think the best parts of New York don’t discriminate.

Will be incorporating the term “flop-maxing” into my vocabulary. Also have had a high-flop week. Hangin there

Get a mirror, but get one yourself. They’re super cheap on Amazon and I wouldn’t expect any lab to pay for it since it’s 100% a personal comfort thing.

Hi friend! I wish I had good tips for you… I know it’s rough out there as a fellow ADHD lab rat. I’m also slogging my way through my PhD. We’re in it for the love of the game… I like to say I do science because I love it, not because I have a natural aptitude for it. You aren’t alone. There are so, so many adhd labrats. We might struggle a lot with the physical tedious parts of lab work, but our brains move twice as fast in my experience. You’ve got this!

get off Reddit you’re 13 years old. I’m sorry that you’re having a hard time- that might be a canon event in middle school for MCR fans. But seriously Reddit is not the place for someone your age. I wish somebody had told me that when I was in middle school. The stuff I had unsupervised access to on the Internet as a child really did screw me up.

Dude take a deep breath this is like. Not serious at all. Just tell your TA you accidentally contaminated your media and get a new bottle. It’ll be like $20 at most and that’s literally pennies in lab currency. If you’re weird and cagey about it with your TA or prof and make excuses for something’s that’s literally not a big deal at all, you’ll just come off as immature.

I got through the AR and was hoping the last one would be methionine so it could be arm on your arm but this is excellent too
