“Science doesn’t work like that. It doesn’t do deadlines or consolation trophies. You can design the perfect study, sleep one hour a night, feed on nothing but despair and Lean Cuisine for months on end, and your results can still be the opposite of what you were hoping to find. Science doesn’t give a sh*t. Science is reliable in its variability. Science does whatever the f*ck it wants. God, I love science.”
God, I love her.
Stay curious. Stay nerd-y. Dr. Marie would approve.
seeing a fruit fly anywhere else at my university : ew bug don’t land on my food!
seeing a fruit fly in the lab building : sir ! sir ! study participants need to sign in first ! i believe your experiment is in room 3D2 ! sir !
Sorry for lack of posts. 3 classes and a lab and work have me busy all the time. Here's a leptothecate slide and a cool sponge for yall

“But what would be left of me without neuroscience? Who would I even be without my burning need to correct people who say that humans use only 10 % of their brain? (They even made a movie about this. For f*ck’s sake, does no one fact-check Hollywoood scripts?) Did you know that conservatives tend to have larger amygdalae than liberals? That taxi drivers’ hippocampi grow bigger as they memorize how to navigate London? That Brian differences predict variations in personality? We are our nervous systems, the complex combination of billions of neurons firing in distinctive patterns. What’s more exciting than spending my life figuring out what a little chunk of these neurons can accomplish?”
I’m crying. Are you?
Stay curious. Stay excited (pun intended). Dr. Marie would approve.
“You can only use 10 % of your brain” that’s a lie, Marie Curie used 110 % of hers and still had time to drag men in French.
Stay curious, stay frisky, Dr. Marie would approve.
STEM-CORE
Fresh, warm, printed papers
The smell of preserved specimens
Charging your calculator instead of your phone
The sound of scissors in flesh
Field days
Data days
Migraines from typing code all day
Wheelie chairs in the lab
Microscope rings around your eyes
5 coffees a day
Your favorite pen running out of ink
Annotations everywhere
12:02 AM
SO many jackets
Cold coffee with your comfort research paper
Phone reminders to stretch and to eat
The smell of a freshly opened box of gloves
Hot coffee with a new scientific paper
Nostalgia for your 7th grade science fair
What day is it?
Warning: Discussing dissection photos and tags
If I post more dissection pics, I want to make sure I use appropriate tags for people who don't want to see that material. I have posted a couple in the past and never had issues, but I just want to make sure. It's why I don't post many dissections.
I use tags like dead animal, dissection, dead [insert animal type here], lab, tw, trigger warning, and blood (if present). Idk if these types of tags are enough or if I need more/better ones especially since I now have thousands of followers and want to make sure I'm not showing dissection photos to people who don't want to see that stuff.
I have lots of microscope photos I can post though and that I just haven't for some reason.
