inspired by the latest tag. thank you (:

we were discussing a Nature paper that studied 4 transcription factors - Sox2, Oct4, Nanog and Tcf3. and one of the PIs makes a very smart observation. "you know, if you line up the first letters of the Tfs they studied.. they spell snot."

i'm really loving my superiors. we have little chats here and there as we work, and i really love that we can kid around. i think i'm pretty alright with comebacks and witty lines, but sometimes andrew is just unbelievable. the things he says! and i'm half-stunned and like wha-a?? literally leaves me speechless! god, andrew's such a slapper. HAHA

i do wanna revive this blog, or at least a blog. to chronicle my PhD journey, i'd like that. anecdotes i'd just like to put down and keep.

i'm really glad i'm on this journey. (:

OH! you know what my bosses said to me the other day?? okay, i don't wanna jump the gun or jinx it but, i must put it down! mynn and andrew were discussing plans for a conference next year. wait, let me rephrase that. they were discussing THE conference to go to for stem cell researchers. THE conference by THE International Society for Stem Cell Research (ISSCR). the one that's gonna be held in barcelona next july.

and suddenly andrew turns to me, "how about you? are you covered for conferences?"

"well, yeah i am covered, but i have to present (at the conference) in order to claim."

"ah don't worry about (presenting). but you should go. it's good exposure. yeah, you should go."

my boss rocks.

did i say barcelona? in summer! yeah baby. (:
