#lab, #nature, blog, intro

Welcome!

This is a scientist’s blog with >300 posts, >25k visits, almost 1k followers and now a SHOP with small items to make working in the lab or in the office more comfy!

I am a PhD-ed biologist/geneticist who crossed biotechnology, biochemistry, protein science, food science, material science, biomedical devices and is now curious about cosmetic science and innovation, I started working in a biochemistry lab as a student in 2004 for my master thesis and, here I am, sitting in a cosmetic lab and still surrounded by very active white coats.

This blog was born in 2016 with the short post titled Decision addiction that has so far collected 1 ‘like’! Sweet! After three years the blog collected short poems and images. I hope you like flowers!

With these daily contributions, I have touched more than 2k topics going form pink to relax, from biochemistry to space, from being a scientist to the future… I still can’t believe it. Enjoy this space, feel free to snoop around, this place is also for you. Don’t forget to leave a comment!

Summary of the day

My white coat has stains

To mark its rebellion.

My pencils are cheers

And tell concentration.

My legs are tired

Of standing and observing.

My head is saturated

Of bright ideas and daring dreams.

poetry

The story that tells itself

The paper is blank

But your days were full.

One by one you built the ladder,

Walked it hesitantly,

And sat at the top.

The story is written in solid words

and wooden sticks.

Be brave and look down,

Look back and read your limits,

The story tells itself.

6 ways to look busy at work, how to pretend you are working in the lab
poetry

Let it be

I wrote a book

I wrote chapters and articles

In the era of screens and AI.

I don’t have a TV

That tells me what’s Acceptable.

I don’t dye my hair,

My genetics is expressing itself.

Labelling crazily

My bottles, my pens, my coat,

All have a sticker and am owner.

The date is for recording,

The name to mark the territory.

Like a sticky barbed wire fence

Guard my experimental work

And my guide my hand.

poetry, scienvce

Saving time, wasting time

Colleagues to bother and coffee cups to hold,

salts to dissolve and liquids to stir,

see you standing and counting the minutes.

In moments of idle attention

ideas waiting in line come to the front

with a smiling face and the index up.

Nothing to do, plant seeds for tomorrow.

Signing at last

Results and images had no name,

Hanging loose in the air of the auditorium.

Years have passed and they have been spoken,

Discussed, and tortured by anybody

With a mouth and a degree.

Now they are on the screen, they have a link,

They have a father and a mother,

And multiple curious coming along like children.

The list of names is long,

The list start with me.

poetry

You are Always special

Look around and find another you,

Through the fog of strong opinions

and dressed-up egos.

This endless search points you back

To your chest with a thick finger.

Your unique nature is evident to everybody,

Your road has signs you stick in the ground

With your energy.

Even in this lazy today.

poetry

Nectar

Women are good

To turn bitter lemons into nectar

When the wind blows strong.

When others run,

They adapt.

They are the glue,

Invisible, yet necessary.

They bind and grab,

They soothe and position,

They give purpose

In any brittle world.

poetry

Look up there is a cloud

Data are absorbing me,

The blue light of the screen is tuning my circadian rhythm,

Old samples accumulate

And I have forgotten my vision.

That question pulls me,

That chocolate gives me five minutes of heaven.

Look up, there is a cloud,

had you noticed?

Cosmetic means inside

They call it cosmetic

But it penetrates  your life

And puts a spin on your mood,

as it lays on your skin.

Not anymore invisible,

Your attention is caught.

Warmed up but the self care,

You will always be your best friend.
