how did my graduate students find this blog
the fact that Hermann was born on 6/9 is completely wasted on him, but despite that great loss i’m still duty-bound and determined to help him celebrate his birthday in the obvious way

why are you as a mathematician gay
why as a computer scientist are you gay
never make the reckless presumption that your skills in wet specimen dissection will translate directly to preparing freshly hunted game on the team camping trip. but when you do, try not to cry into the abdominal cavity of a rabbit where your post-docs can see you
you graduate from 6 different doctoral programs before you turn 29 and they somehow think they can stop you from getting every available version of the SARS-CoV-2 vaccine, starting with your own DIY
the CDC says that vaccinated people can stay on their side of the lab still, thank you
thanks for the kind update hermann but luckily that won't be a problem for me after Kraftwerk come to pick you up and take you back to Düsseldorf
She's up all night 'til the sun I'm up all night to get data She's up all night for good fun I'm up all night to laboriously collect time-point readings on my extremely delicate 72 hour experiment

you know the phrase, “don’t be all hat and no cowboy”? Well some people are all lab coat and no scientist
what’s all this Blibber Blabber about who has which chromosomes? if you ask me chromosomes are fucking overrated. talk to me when your genome is circular, contains minimal introns, and doesn’t need “histones” or “a nuclear membrane” to keep its shit together
out of everything, who among us could have predicted the mod of the newt suggestion blog being an actual biologist and not, like, someone with a very weird search history
I'm a resource management officer for a life science department and I love my biologists but so help me God, none of you are too good for paper work
administrators are braver than any US marine
i genuinely don’t know why i thought this blog could be so in character and not done by a biologist holy shit dude congrats??
Thank you! Research science has been my dream since I was little, so even though I may not be a wunderkind like SOME people, I’m still working hard to be the best biologist I can be. If that means several years of intensive training in specialized, nontransferable skills in a tiny lab space full of lifeless geeks, then so be it!
It’s also pretty good fuel for all these pacific rim jokes.
Hey folks! It’s me, “Newt”, I’m talking to you from another universe where it is 2019, I am actually a 21 year old from the midwest, and aliens are still theoretical. I just started my (1st) PhD in microbiology, so I’m not going to have much time to meme in between lab work and teaching undergrads how not to lick the E. coli plates.
I’ll still be here, but not as often! I’m going to set up a queue like my partner blog to repost the classics in the meantime. You’re still welcome to send asks and messages, and I’ll get notifications. If anybody is interested in joining as a co-mod to keep up the flow of dank biology jokes though, shoot me a message
love ya! :)
