A little about this blog. For the last few month I have been writing "Take it to the Bridge", a blog about life in the life sciences. Recently I was asked to contribute to LabSpaces and thought it might be a good idea to use this space to cross-post some of my favorite more science-related content from "Take it to the Bridge" that LabSpaces users might find of interest. For my other posts and thoughts about life and life in academia, please refer to my regular blog which will remain fully active and contain old and new posts. Please feel free to comment on posts, I love discussion!
