It's actually literally the jacket I've had since I was 16. I just didn't fit into it anymore until recently.

Ahaha. I'm wearing slim jeans, brown puma, brown leather jacket, sunglasses. Basically, what I wore when I was 20

The (extremely critical) 6 year old told me "wow you look cool mama" so I am never changing out of this outfit.

Congratulations!

Using my afternoon off to recruit for the team.

Proud to announce that after scoring a grand total of 0 goals all season I scored a hat trick at scrimmage and I am quitting ice hockey while I'm ahead.

I'm definitely planning on doing that soon now that my dutch level is up to standards (ish).
No, I'll be passing out sandwiches for the Easter breakfast (but they are COMTÉ and not Gouda Ahahahahaha I am evil).

Happy "one day a year that the university is closed but school and daycare are open" to those who celebrate!
I'll be celebrating it volunteering at school this morning because I am stupid.

Amazing

Mini Mac & cheese in tiny small cute dishes

Slightly miffed that amidst all the (various and elaborate) stuff I cook my kids' favorite and the request I got for daycare Easter lunch is... Mac&Cheese.
However, behold: individual Mac&Cheeses (which were a success, they're all gone) .

Saucisson. Comté.

A picture of a clay project that looks suspiciously like a bunch of dividing cells. Possibly S. ceverisiae.

I swear I had nothing to do with this clay project, she made these dividing cells with no input from me.
But she's definitely first in the will now.

Believe it or not, 0. Only green tea with breakfast!

Or YESSors? YESSenites?

I think YESSies is here to stay!

I'm so incredibly sorry.

God heavens why in the world not?

Check, check, and kinda check I guess (did a couple of tricky experiments for our next projects and they worked). So now I'm gonna sit on these laurels forever.

There is a possibility I'll be in Geneva early July!

I got myself all worked up to do a midiprep for the lab and be useful.
Turns out we ran out of competent bacteria.
Turns out actually not but I just couldn't find them.
Folks, it has finally happened.

Are you a postdoc in the job market? Do you have a cool story in the making? You forgot to have lunch and just run your gel backwards? You can't sleep because of the prospect of applying to 100 places and getting two replies only? Apply! 🧪🐟https://www.germanfishmeeting.org/from-postoc-to-pi

It was quite a lot of fun!

Mostly cells, for me

You too!!

There definitely was some shared science discussions (=complaining/bantering about football) with @jesseveenvliet.bsky.social during the writing process

Super stoked that we (with @viktri08.bsky.social, Michael Stumpf and Miguel Concha) got awarded an HFSP research grant! Looking forward to diving into this exciting if a bit crazy project.

Oh it's out!

Very interesting - I will take a look!

Wnt for the Win(t).
I'll see myself out
