In the lab.

I know, I'm the only one really interested in molecular genetics, but here's something you can all hopefully enjoy about it.



How pretty! This is showing Matt Arnegard writing himself notes about microinjection into fish embryos. I love the light coming in through the windows here. If only my lab had floor-length windows, I'm very jealous of the Kingsley Lab. This is where I spent a week this summer learning various molecular techniques (like microinjection into fish embryos!), and honestly it was one of the most amazing experiences I've ever had. I also in general love lab-setting photographs because it seems like such a different world than the one that most of the planet usually occupies. Giant microscopes everywhere, bottles filled with random solutions scattered on desktops, everyone is wearing latex gloves... I find it strangely beautiful. But maybe that's because I'm just a huge nerd who loves science.
