I hate dilution language because a 1 in 10 dilution is not 1:10 it’s 1/10 and it drives me insane genuinely

Hating ظ vs ذ because it depends on the accent istg that difference is not real to me

I love science so much more now that I left that toxic chem lab(literally don’t have to ignore safety guidelines anymore 🎉)

Saying “hey let me save you money and help you graduate with publishable data bc I’m a very skilled and experienced biologist, so please give me the Catalog numbers so I can give you the best assay results” and then accusing me of stealing data of a WIDLEY USED ASSAY WITH NO MODIFICATION

Luci Ferin @luci-ferase.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

Imagine hiring a biologist but just to ignore everything she says and then saying you wish you had input but then dismissing every idea or suggestion

Imagine a man driving you so insane that you ask your therapist if you’re actually insane or if is just that stupid

I’m sentencing you into a corner for sharing this

I’d say most frustrating(grammar being the backbone drives nuts) but you know what slay

Asking for the catalogue number of a few assay reagents to basically master it myself and my “mentor” says it’s “proprietary info cut it out” LIKE NO TF ITS NOT ITS A STANDARD ASSAY

Keep ignoring my concerns, like do you want your project to fail? Let’s watch it burn together then since you insist

He’s a chemist learning from a biochemist and I was like “wait I’ve done this before lowkey” and then went home early as soon as I saw him make him make standards

Spent 3 hours watching someone learn an assay just to realize I know how to do it and my mentor just didn’t

He doesnt have the ability to just walk into the few BSL-IV labs that have live samples. I can assure you he wont pass that training. Most research (which is a very niche field btw) actually uses the weakened version of the virus but which so much care that you don’t have to worry about it.

He doesn’t seem to fathom or even care that the polio vaccine is one the most important ones we have historically because now children and adults don’t have to worry about dying young or being PARALYZED everyday just because someone left their house

Me crying to my US house representative after explaining how little chances we have for me and people like me to become scientists if we do not fix our current funding issue (I don’t cry) despite having three years of hands on independent research experience across several areas of chem and bio

The way I saw a LinkedIn post saying like “I finally validated an antibody[from my employer that I won’t mention] and turns out everyone’s experiments were wrong so I contacted the company and they clapped” I was like ??? and so were all the scientists in the comments

Having a PhD student as my mentor is such an interesting thing. That is all.

Sarah Schroeder, a UC Riverside doctoral student in entomology, hopes that by naming these insects after the singer, both the insects, specifically, as well as the concept of insect conservation more generally will shine with a little of her reflected light.

A paper describing 12 new species of insects was published today in the journal Insect Systematics and Evolution. Of these, one genus has been named Swiftiephylus, and it contains four species whose names are inspired by the artist herself as well as several of her albums: Swiftiephylus taylorae, Swiftiephylus amator, Swiftiephylus intrepidus, and Swiftiephylus poetorum.
The names are Latin versions of Taylor, lover, fearless, and poets, respectively. The genus name combines "Swiftie," the term for Swift's fans, with Phylus, a name commonly used for this group of insects.

Swifties, there’s a whole GENUS named of bugs named bc of their resemblance to Taylor (blonde and red lipstick) one of which has the species name as her name
