Emotional flow of science: Failed experiment —>😢 it didn’t work —>😡 at the wasted time —>😓 the project is doomed —>🤔 new ideas to optimize —>🤩 for the next expriment! Great scientists still have many failed experiments but they can move from 😥 —> 🤩 very quickly!


Nothing more special than getting invited back to my alma mater at The University of Miami Biology Department that started me on this research path! @univmiami Thank you for an amazing day @schoolingadream
