It's been a weird 2020 for many, but the last few weeks have been extra strange for me. Passing like a flash, we bought a house & moved in, started a new job and today I passed my viva, all in time for Christmas. I am now Dr. Jess Friedersdorff, 3rd of her name, lover of phages!!

Staring at the floaty bits of leaf in my tea, I can't help but think... Can I get a small desk centrifuge?🤓🤔 ... I need to get back in the lab 🙃
I'm wondering - Biden has called Trump a 'clown' and to 'shut up, man'. Do you think Trump is pushing buttons everyone has such that anyone would be exasperated and react this way or is this a result of poor debating skills? #Debates2020

When you are extremely close to handing in your thesis and you realise that you have assumed some of your data was normal and it wasn't :(

My first ever full paper on my research <3 frontiersin.org/articles/10.… My dad pointed out it already had 159 views. Pretty sure he clicked the link 158 times... 😅 #phage #rumen #lookdadImdoingit

Quick poll to help show how important conciseness in writing is (and to help settle my craziness). 1) weigh out 5 g of solid sample. 2) add equal volume of elution buffer. How much elution buffer do you add? (sample volume is 2 ml, weight is 5 g)

Given the chance to first author and corral some fellow scientists into putting together this chapter in the latest awesome and much needed #rumenmicrobiome book. Check it out here: shop.bdspublishing.com/store… @bdspublishing Do I get to sign autographs now? 😅🙃

My dad wins dad jokes. Zoom with family: Me: "I bet you're looking forward to seeing five friends in the park?" Dad: "Yes, but that silly cow is not happy, is she?" Us: ... ... Dad: "Snow White."
