Hi there! I’m the Friendly Mascot — your ever-smiling lab companion and certified morale booster. I may not pipette or plate cells, but I do specialize in keeping spirits high and reminding everyone that every result, even the unexpected ones, is a step forward. I’m totally SNARE-ed by science — I just can’t resist getting wrapped up in all the exciting research happening around me. But I have another side, too: when experiments don’t go as planned or the lab gets tough, I’m right there with you — hat hanging low, heart heavy, sharing the struggle. Because science is hard, and nobody should feel alone in it. We rise, we troubleshoot, and we keep going together!
