There’s nothing like the feeling of starting up in a new lab. There’s excitement, and the fun of figuring out another lab’s organization. From finding account numbers to searching for pipettes, with each switch from lab to lab, I’ve had a great deal of fun. After working in 3 different labs, starting up a temporary lab at Wood’s Hole, and Managing the Prep lab twice for two microbiology courses, I can say that this is one of the things I like most. The fear of not knowing where the plates are, and then the joy of finding them. The joy of actually getting your media into the autoclave filled with the hope and excitement, the desire for results and things that may come from your simple mixture. It’s about putting in time, crunching data, the love of asking questions.
