    Time to read more papers! Been loving these cold pressed juices lately, I figured I should drink more of these since I don’t really eat a lot of fruits and veggies on the daily 😅

    I’m taking a class on RNA-protein complexes, which is totally new to me, so reading this paper is taking super duper long. At least some champagne makes it more bearable!

    Today’s study location is the basement of the library! I hope to finish all the writing today, since I have a bioinformatics paper that’s due on Tuesday 😓
    This past week went by hella fast and it’s crazy because I’m defending my thesis AND graduating in less than two weeks!

    I pretty much have no life for the next few days because I’m writing my thesis! Anyway I use the app Duet Display to use my iPad as a second screen, which increases my productivity so I’m not regretting my $15 purchase lol 🙂

    Spending my only day off from the lab in a coffee shop and working on my seminar two weeks from now. Positive vibes are appreciated! I’m doing a talk on a topic outside my research, so I have lots of preparation to do 😅
