Tidying out my parents place, this folder has every western blot I ran during my PhD

This is probably the most exciting result I’ve had in about 18 months!

If you'd like to see more of my Dad's work, he's on Flickr (www.flickr.com/photos/18841...)

I think it came out really nicely AND it was chosen for the front cover of Pathogens! My Mum's convinced this is his breakthrough into the big leagues.

And after quite a bit of back-and-forth, given I have no creative skills and Dad didn't quite get what information needed to be conveyed, he made this! I think it's a really nice art/science collaboration. 3/4

When my father retired, he decided to take up art as a hobby. I don't know much about art and he doesn't know much about science so we both just sort of nodded and said "very nice" at each other's work. The most I can say is that he seems to like chalk and pastels, like the piece I've attached 1/4

The academic career has really delayed my family life, but I hadn’t realised how bad it was

Shrinkflation: my lunch costs the same but is smaller and now advertised as a low calorie option

I know I've complained before but this manuscript is 28 pages and 197 citations and Frontiers gave me 3 days to review it

I've received 4 emails in 3 days from Frontiers about a resubmitted manuscript

Love that Greece is Western Europe but Poland is Eastern Europe

I think I should retire now while I'm ahead

I did think at the time: “it feels like there’s a hole in my glove” and “ponceau will stain my hand pink for a week” But there you go

Odd choice or words from my student or do I ask for a wellness check?

I tried putting my biochemistry mock exam questions into ChatGPT. It does surprisingly well, but not brilliantly (high 2:2). Right now the smoking gun is eloquent writing, vast information but poor knowledge synthesis. I’m sure it will cover that gap though

Have to love MDPI's attention to detail really

I read this as “Biden drops dead” and thought that it really should have been further up the news agenda

We’re having our first Knowledge, Inclusion and Equity in Research book club. Pretty happy with the catering!

Tea, coffee, two large cakes and several copies of the Exceptions by Kate Zirnike
