    Jeez, you fools. How about rolling into the lab at 11, drinking coffee till 11:30, have at most half an hour to reminiscue about yesterday’s failures, while looking at results well-knowing they’re unsalvageable, and then going for lunch with the crew?

    If you start your day at 8:30, you misunderstood that it’s not your paycheck that makes a PhD great.

      I rarely arrived at the lab before 10am as an undergrad intern. (And usually stayed until 7–8pm because I goofed around too much and it took forever to get all the cells taken care of 🫠)

      Flexible schedules are a luxury I miss dearly
