We have more in common than I thought. I spent 10 years working in biotech in Austin (a small startup called Ambion that got acquired several times until it became part of thermo fisher). Man you brought back memories with the pipetting and running around with timers. I kind of miss it sometimes.

Kudos to you for making gifts this year. (P.S. I love your headline!)

No way?! But somehow I am also not surprised 🤣

Oh heck yes, all the acquisitions. I left Immunex and was contracting for Amgen and then Amgen bought Immunex and I was with all the people I said goodbye to 🤷🏽‍♀️

I, too, love playing kitchen scientist. I keep moderately decent records but tend to stumble on precision and repetition. I'm a "tweaker." 🤣

Yes! That is the fun of it. I think I had to go through my rebel period and then find a happy medium, recording what is useful. And I am just a big nerd at heart, it turns out!
