Out of curiosity - what's your thesis? A fair few of my cousins have been through that nerve-wracking minor hell, so best of luck and all the confidence I can muster are being sent your way

Thanks very much.  My thesis is titled, “A paramyxovirus V protein strategy for dismantling RIG-I signaling,” and it details my (somewhat heterodox) work indicating a new method by which viruses like measles virus and mumps virus can break down the innate immune response.

I have a manuscript currently in review on this topic as well, so I will of course share it when it comes out.  And explain it.  Because trust me, it will need explaining.

Do you have a lazy eye? My mom had that all her life and it was a real pain in the ass. Good test: how's your depth perception?

Once you get this you have to say five things you like about yourself, publicly, then send this to ten of your favorite followers (non-negotiable)

omg i hate u. 

i am very photogenic which is nice bc i like knowing that i look a lot better in pictures than irl, bc people will look back at the pictures. 

um i guess i like that i drink a lot of water bc water's healthy (i suck at this ik)

apparently i give good advice and that's good i think?

i'm v talented at pretending to like people i don't, which is a v v important skill in life. 

idk one of you fill in this spot.
