Oh, your Wi-Fi was slow? 😏
Imagine flipping through 47 tiny drawers just to find one fact… and then realizing it’s filed under something completely random. This was the original search engine, kids. 📚🗂️
Suddenly “buffering” doesn’t feel so tragic, does it?

Experiments in organic chemistry are a mix of knowledge, persistence… and a little bit of (d)uck. 🍀
Every reaction needs a good-luck duck. 🦆

CellDrop has a permanent sample chamber made of two parallel, durable sapphire surfaces. When the cell suspension is loaded into the chamber, the sample is held in place by surface tension.
First, load the sample into the chamber.
Next, adjust focus and exposure, then press the count button to analyze sample.
Finally, wipe the surfaces clean with a lab wipe, and CellDrop is ready for the next measurement!
Reduce lab plastic waste with the CellDrop Automated Cell Counter ♻️

“The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore, all progress depends on the unreasonable man.” It is attributed to George Bernard Shaw, Man and Superman.
A reminder for everyone currently battling.

Movement isn't optional – it's mental fuel.
Kids who play daily boost math scores. Adults slash stress by 30%. For researchers buried in analysis, a brisk walk resets focus.
Make it a habit, not a chore. Body leads the mind.

It looks like a gap on my CV, but I actually have three papers under review. The to-do list: Update CV with preprint DOIs to show what I've actually been working on.
Need early evidence for a job or grant application?
#Preprints provide a credible record of your ongoing research, which helps you to demonstrate active productivity on your CV even while your manuscript is under peer review.
