FFT DONE. Was able to Orlandeau through until.... I wasn't. Got caught at the Balk/Barich flight and had to back out and actually level a bit. But we are victorious!

I'm having so much fun with Final Fantasy Tactics. On one level, it feels like I'm 15 again. On another, I'm enjoying the game's nuance and political intrigue that you understand better as an adult. I'm also having a great time with builds! Black mage + Iaido, OMG. WRECKING HOUSE.

Impromptu trip with @lisaroxroxrox.bsky.social up to NorCal for @bichphuongballz.bsky.social 's birthday. We came, we saw, we doordashed boba and listened to the amazing Chrono Trigger OST on vinyl.

The problem with @rpglimitbreak.bsky.social is that after I come home, I have far too many games to add to my burgeoning backlog...

I've been watching this run from @rpglimitbreak.bsky.social back in pieces this week, and... We just had so much fun!! Easily a highlight of this year's Limit Break. Thanks @moonblazewolf.fastestfurs.com for having me on the couch and @altabiscuit.bsky.social for the knowledge, vibes, and dancing.

With @rpglimitbreak.bsky.social only a few weeks away, it seemed like a perfect occasion to rocket up the 5 this morning blasting the SaGa 3 OST. It's amazing what they were able to make on a Game Boy.

We are engaged! I am over the moon with my alexandrite ring that fluoresces under a blacklight! A perfect ring for a gamer and chemist. The fact that I get to spend the rest of my life with Charles ain't too bad, either. 😉

Today's discovery: if I put on Dancing Mad (SNES version, naturally) as I get onto the 5, I can get from North San Diego county all the way to my exit in San Diego proper just as it is ending.

I played Xenogears while taking chemistry in high school, and that's where I learned about nanotechnology. Decided to go to school for that. Nanostructures underpinned my PhD, and now I use them to develop custom lateral flow diagnostic tests. Thanks, Tetsuya Takahashi and @square-enix-games.com !

Had so much fun yesterday at #alfc2025 showing off some work I did moving a Covid/Flu visual lateral flow triplex test into a more sensitive fluorescent version. Lots of interesting new faces and concepts at the Advanced Lateral Flow Conference!

Sometimes life smacks me in the face and takes me out of my comfort zone. In those moments, I am reminded that in so many ways, and for so many reasons, I am so darn lucky.

I have lots of photos of our trip to Czechia and Slovakia, but this is one of my favorites. Spiš Castle in Eastern Slovakia with thunderheads. Worth getting sprinkled on!

Hot diagnostics take: if Elizabeth Holmes' revolutionary new blood testing scheme that she's dictating to her partner FROM FEDERAL PRISON is Raman spectroscopy, I think it's a pretty safe dud. Raman is great if you're trying to avoid water signal, but is a notoriously insensitive technique.

On the whole, San Diego drivers are really good! But it just takes one person to turn left right in front of you to be thankful you have a working horn and brakes in good shape.

Even after over a decade in lateral flow immunoassay development, I find nothing beats that first initial look on a new project at just how good (or bad!) your antibodies are.

Just finished Xenoblade 3 Future Redeemed, and I'm SHOOK. Both by the not-so-subtle nods to earlier games, plus getting to hear Joanne Hogg's voice again. 1998 me obsessed with Xenogears would cry from happiness if she knew that this was coming.

I just want to personally thank Pete Hegseth for proving my theory that when your entire personality is “minorities are incompetent,” it’s usually because you’re more incompetent than anyone could have imagined.
