working on my thesis corrections! They're due in two months. Overall, they're okay tbh, except for the one examiner wanting more statistical analysis throughout is killing me and I'll be in t-test hell all week

#i havent opened these data files in 6 months and i gotta try get p values ugh my god #my supervisor said it should suffice without generating p values but ... I gotta keep the examiner happy I suppose to pass :( #my posts #thesis hell #thesis #dissertation #statistics #studyblr #biology #biochemistry #research masters

being upper intermediate in a language is rewording sentences so you don’t have to reveal you don’t know how to say a very simple thing that you feel like you should’ve learned when you were a beginner and at this point you’re too embarrassed to ask

A look at molecular plant biology up close… here I demonstrate the importance of labelling samples with my rainbow 🌈 Sharpies. 

This is a lab protocol for extracting mRNA from plant tissue. The difference colours represent different treatments - namely how many aphids were on the plant and for how long. 

The goal of this experiment is to test how gene expression differs in resistant versus susceptible host plants. This may help determine which genes are key to the successful plant defence response.

#nice idea! #handful of sharpies in the lab is a great idea #lab #research #phd #drawing on the ice box is super cute ;-; a girl in my masters lab did that and i think it was cute #if i remember rightly she wrote a joke about ice and cold on it too #doodles

Awesome Intermediate Language-Learner Things

Feeling like you haven’t made progress, then looking back on your previous work and realising you’ve actually come a long way

When you start to use prepositions, interjections and grammatical elements that don’t exist in your native language correctly without thinking because they just feel right

Being able to get your point across most of the time, even if it’s in a slightly awkward roundabout way sometimes

Natives telling you you’re good at the language

Being able to watch TV shows, read books and listen to the radio and actually understand enough to get the gist, even if you don’t understand everything

Developing an understanding of the culture through the language and feeling yourself grow as a person as a result

Listening to songs in your TL that you haven’t heard for a while and realising you can actually understand a lot of the lyrics now

Starting to understand puns, double-meanings and innuendos you missed previously and going :O :O :O

Discovering a wealth of idioms, many of which are funny, insightful or just plain cute

When you stop translating words in your head and start just understanding

When people mention that you speak your target language, and instead of saying “I really don’t” you can say “well yes, kind of”
