With all the environmental catastrophes we face, it's so important to remember that we have the power to fix things, to restore the balance we destroyed.
The re-introduction of wolves to Yellowstone is a great example. Also: humpback whales.
I've lived this nightmare more times than I care to count...
woke up from a nightmare where I'm pipetting a 384 well plate, blank out for a second and can't tell whether I put 0.2uL of enzyme in, panicked, put the tip into another well and contaminate it. then when i look i cant tell if there's liquid in it cuz the volume is too small?!

I swear there is no more obnoxious Twitter thread habit than the final tweet telling me to like the first tweet... I mean, come on, we all know how Twitter works 🙄

Anyone know why recent Covid variants haven't been named? Why are we on variants-of-variants-of-Omicron instead of just the Psi variant? BA.5 and BA.2.75 must be different enough to warrant categorization as new strains.
So, the three of us started building the company. Refining the strategy, measuring the market, perfecting the pitch (or, really, making it barely passable). Now, many VC pitches later, we're in @ycombinator 's S22 batch. What a way to start!
