“I began my postdoc in February 2020. In spite of my brief time making the most of life at MIT, I promptly uncovered how energetic it was at the Stata Centre! It is an architectural landmark of modernity and a heart of aggregation for students and personnel. It is a distinctive position, and I imagined it deserved a special picture.
I work in organic engineering finding out chromatin conformation with super-resolution microscopy. So I am very passionate about picturing the planet, from DNA molecules to amazing landscapes! I also like worries, and I observed that in the Boston region, thunderstorms are rather exceptional, and storms blow very rapidly. It is tough to seize them, specifically with the composition you have in intellect. I experienced by now attempted number of moments to consider this picture I had in intellect, but I was not happy.
Just lately I was monitoring the temperature diligently considering that I was arranging a modest road journey to enjoy the attractiveness of New England. I then realized I had to terminate my excursion since extreme thunderstorms had been predicted, which are not very welcoming for driving — but excellent for images! Though I was having microscopy recordings, I recognized a likely thunderstorm would have crossed my workplace. So without the need of hesitation, and regardless of the rain, I biked property to get my camera gear, and I came again to the lab, from wherever I have a lovely sight of the Stata Centre. The summary is that I was getting images both of those of microscopic and gigantic normal phenomena at the very same time! It was these types of a fulfilling working day.”
