Vince is in a lab! A beautiful space with windows. When Jeremy was in grad school, he spent the first few years doing research in the basement and then, later on, he was in the sub-basement. He insists that all good research happens subterranean-ly. But I think it’s better to spend your time in the light. Vince called us excitedly about plasmids and cofactors and E coli and then we both said uh-huh at the right time and smiled because we have literally no idea what he is talking about.
They gave him this desk with an old Mac which says “Li lab undergraduate research computer”. I asked if he had me the PI (principle investigator) yet and he said – no, she remains elusive. Look at those floppy disks!
