So much at Founder’s Day @UMassAmherst! Grateful to be back on campus.
Leading up to #EarthDay, we look to @washingtonpost, who interviewed R. Thomas Zoeller, a distinguished professor emeritus from @CNS_UMass's Department of Biology, to discuss the health implications of plastics and to get his take on water bottles. umass.science/3UndF6U
Pulled the kids out of school for a once in lifetime experience. Absolutely breathtaking and 100% worth it.
Excited for this lecture!

Very interesting read. Why the mental cost of a STEM career can be too high for women and people of colour nature.com/articles/d4158…
Excited to share that as of Monday, I’m a @UMassAmherst employee once again! Excited to start as the Senior Lab Planner with the Design and Construction Management team. I have loved working for @fishersci and will miss my customers and colleagues immensely. #backtoacademia
Took a few days off to attend the MASC/MASS conference. In my 6th ye as a school committee member, I’m grateful for these learning opportunities. Sessions from building NetZero schools to therapy pets in the classroom. Who wouldn’t feel better spending time with this cute pup?
Great turnout today for the centrifuge safety seminar at @UMassAmherst. We covered tips for rotor maintenance and did complimentary rotor inspections. Next month we’ll have a pipetting and -80 freezer seminar and qPCR office hours. Lots of great learning opps.
This week I got to help with the setup and installation of an Evolution One Spectrophotometer with a Pelletier Cooling cell at @UMassAmherst . It was fun to see how this instrument works in the real world and even more fun supporting this great lab in their research.
Spent the day with our pH specialist doing pH meter and electrode health checks at @UMassAmherst. The biggest takeaway, don’t let your buffers expire!
The @mtholyoke biology department is seeking a visiting instructor to teach Microbiology with lab in Spring 2024. A great opportunity to gain teaching experience in a small liberal arts college setting. Please share, and msg me directly with questions/how to apply.
Spent the day @UMassAmherst performing complimentary pedestal reconditioning on Nanodrops. I used a Nanodrop for 15 years and didn’t know that this should be done every 6 months! Look at that beautiful water bead on a properly conditioned pedestal.
Join us at the next Core Facilities Seminar! 3D Print Microfluidic Devices, No Molds Required: A presentation + Q&A with the manufacturer of ADDFab’s new printer, the Profluidics 285D Tues. Sept. 26, 2023 2-3 pm | LSL S340 #umasscorefacilities Register: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…
“Of course they will say I deserve more recognition, but then they take the recognition that belongs to me,” she says. “They assign it to themselves.”

Was a gorgeous day to be at @UMassAmherst. Had a couple of great meetings and got to pet a goat! Campus is always full of surprises. #moveinday
Thank you @UMassChemistry for inviting me to be a part of another wonderful Researchfest! It was great chatting with everyone and I absolutely LOVE my new mug!
