My PI is not angry with me anymore. He just came to talk to me. Yay, very happy now haha. =)))

I'm doing a lot of work that is not really wet-lab type or any type of research at all. So I'm a bit hesitant to say 'research' when people ask me what I do. I help my pi review papers, check for grammatical errors, compile data into aesthetically pleasing diagrams, make powerpoint slides for lab pres-es, read, and then only the rest of what little time there is left, I do hands-on labwork.

research in a human translational lab is slow. so so slow. Always got to wait for new cell samples to arrive, and when they do, got to deal with the low volume per sample.
