Halloween week in the lab: one ambush, one long-overdue promotion, one tree graded like a protein map.

Our take: This is how you win lab Halloween. The rest of the lab came as Minions, and he’s the one in the bald cap, because somebody had to be Gru.

Our take: Don’t tell her it’s just a coat. Grey means probationary, white means you’ve arrived, and hers ran eight months late.

Our take: Cryo-EM brain is a real condition, and it’s peak season in October. By next week he’ll be grading every tree on the street the same way.

Our take: Software’s getting cheeky now. Hit ctrl+S a few times too often and Teams starts performing for you, and she’s probably right about which finger comes next.

That’s the four. See you tomorrow morning.
