It's taken a month, but I'm finally all trained up on HPLC SEC methods! Whew, GMP processes take a while to get fully trained on.

Last tweet can be even simpler. Are you pregnant? You decide. If you’re not, shut up. 😁
Today the Acharya lab said goodbye to Micah @STEM_enby. As our X-ray crystallography tech, Micah managed the robots in our X-ray suite, and also contributed to protein production. Many thanks Micah for all your contributions and best wishes for your next adventures!

Congrats to all who are living a dream they once thought unreachable. Keep leveling up. You got this.
My fave! 🤩 His content is so enjoyable! He involves lots of his students too- makes me wish I was an undergrad so I could join his lab & become an organic chemist!⚗️😁 (He's also from 🇯🇲! #Caribbean represent!) Follow: @drdre4000 ! #liberalarts #scicomm cen.acs.org/education/outr…
Remember your happiness and well-being must be your priority.
Historically excluded trainees in STEM can ALWAYS see through the people that do “diversity work” for the CV boost… And with the way this generation of trainees are set up, don’t be mad when they start to call y’all out too 🤷🏾♀️
Our paper on the cryo-EM structures of the Omicron variant BA.2 lineage led by @VictoriaStalls is out on @biorxivpreprint @sophie_gobeil @RoryCHenderson @STEM_enby @lab_haynes @TheDHVI and many others Twitterless. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

For all the people that think they are bad at responding to emails: I emailed a professor 12 years ago asking about source recommendations for a paper I was writing for a class during my undergrad. He replied to my email TODAY.
I just saw a tweet that says it makes no sense NOT to take industry jobs. So now, a thread 1/N
Vacation for a week with my best friend! So excited (and then looking forward to feeling refreshed when I’m back to do more science!).

Finally out!!! Honored to be part of this fantastic collaboration to shed some light into the origin of #SARSCoV2 @institutpasteur @CNRS @Nature nature.com/articles/s4158…
Well, I finally caved and made a Twitter for science-y stuff! Guess we’ll see if I can keep up with the news. 😂
