I don't know if I have mentioned it, but back in the day, I worked in a lab.
The lab was a molecular physiology lab at SIU. I spent my time pipetting tiny amounts of all kinds of things for a couple of the medical school professors. I did a lot of lab prep and some research for them as well.
We grew cell lines and studied breast cancer.
We studied gene regulation/expression.
I really liked it, but in the end decided a PhD was not for me.
I worked with all sorts of people at the lab. Mike and Jodi were the professors and the brains behind the operation. Phil was a full-time researcher working on his own theories as he earned his PhD. Ramya was a PhD candidate from India. And there were plenty of us that worked in the lab while we were finishing up our undergrad.
One of my favorite co-workers was a Japanese girl named Takumi.
She was so sweet and quite funny. Sometimes it was unintentional because of cultural differences.
When I ran across this picture the other day I laughed out loud.
That is a tub of diluted bleach solution.
Damn you English.

ReplyDeleteI laughed outloud...we had a Japanese exchange student for a year and have visited with her several times as an adult...often much comic relief.
ReplyDeleteOh Man! I found my hand wliting on the web! I'm a famous gal now. "Breach" is the actual word.... Good to know.... Something was telling me that you are so close to meet your baby, so I stopped by here. I sensed new babies coming out to the world twice this year, and I was really good at it (+/- 7 hours of delivery). I saw the title, second language, so I had to read it! So, baby yet? So excited for you, your family and friends!
ReplyDeleteHa that is too funny Takumi found you. Hope your baby isn't breach bahaha I know it is breech and not bleach or breach.
