The last day of a 12-week adventure today.
Joshua P. Taygerly: one of the chillest, funniest guys I have ever met, and an absolutely amazing person to work for. I still remember how, in the first week, he told me to take days off to go to the beach if I wanted, took me out for 2-hour lunches, bought me a $600 modeling kit, and briefed me on where to get free food.
I've had so many amazing memories from this summer. The project I was working on, of course, which was pretty exciting and allowed for a lot of interdisciplinary exploration. Snapchats of him going slightly crazy at 3am in lab during scale-up. Discovering that some Sharpies are double-ended. Learning that to commit to something is possibly the worst thing to do, and that laziness is an art. Walking me through pretty much everything I did this summer with tons of patience and just as much enthusiasm.
It's sincerely been amazing. I still can't believe I'm done. But off I go, with some new experience and new friends, and I know our paths will cross again someday. I've been so wonderfully blessed.
