Tears In Rain Ep7: Christine Cucinotta
On this episode of Tears In Rain, I hung out with Dr. Christine Cucinotta, an Assistant Professor at Ohio State University, where we spoke about the heavy personal challenges during her graduate studies, and the unique experience of growing into your expertise. She walked us through the specifics of her biological interests, namely chromatin and nucleosome research, as well as the experiences that shaped the scientist she is today. This was a delightful and lighthearted look into her journey toward becoming a very competent researcher, with very relatable anecdotes along the way.

On this episode of Tears In Rain, I interview another cool plant biologist, Dr. Chenxin Li, who is currently an Assistant Research Scientist at the University of Georgia. We start the interview with a recap of what led to Li's decision to enter grad school and then he guides us through the chapters of his thesis, where we get a glimpse of the complexity of doing things that are hard which no on...
Tears In Rain Ep5: Danielle Beckman
มุมมอง 20014 วันที่ผ่านมา
In this episode of Tears In Rain, I got to hang out with Dr. Danielle Beckman, Associate Project Scientist at UC Davis. We dove into her background as a student in Brazil, and the struggles of doing publishable research in Latin America. She told us of how she got into science, her master's program experience, and the formative value that travel had on deciding what her research topic will be. ...
Tears In Rain Ep4: Lev Tsypin
มุมมอง 14014 วันที่ผ่านมา
On this episode of Tears In Rain, I interview Dr. Lev Tsypin, a postdoc at Stanford University, focusing on non-model protists. His background is in microbiology, and we spoke in detail about his project, but most importantly about the struggles he had to overcome both personal and academic, all during a pandemic we all are much too familiar with. A story of familial expectations, curiosity, pe...
Tears In Rain Ep3: Min Ya

In Episode 3 of Tears In Rain, I interview one of my favorite living scientists, Dr. Ya Min (Minya), an incoming Assistant Professor at University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. She told us of her time as a student in China and how her unexpectedly poor entrance exam score changed the course of her life, arguably for the better, but I am a biased student of flowers. We spoke of our mutual love o...

Petunia Bloom Hydraulics - Dawn Cycling

A longer timelapse of the pollinated bloom shutting down, experiencing some dawn hydraulic pumping, and then eventually falling off while the other bloom opens. Cool to see that dawn cycle even on a bloom that's on its way out.

Testing out my macro setup on a very pretty petunia culture I've been nurturing for the last few weeks. This is on MS Media with Gamborg B5 Vitamins, taken off leaf disks from similar media with the addition of BAP 1mg/L and NAA 0.1mg/L. This culture is just about ready for transfer into rooting media. The current media is just a holding gel to make some pretty vids with. GoPro Hero 7 Black - 2...

East River Diving #4 Night Dive, Middle Channel
มุมมอง 7184 ปีที่แล้ว
Another dive with the lil foam peanut! This time we went out to the middle of the channel to explore the depths at high tide. We bumped into a larger structure covered in all sorts of life on it and practiced orbiting around it and managing the currents...until a massive barge made us reel in and call it a night.
I really like this episode and learn a lot from minya! she is really full of energy.
fun discussion! Thanks!
I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Loved this interview!!! I have the honor of being one of Lev's mentee's. He is an absolute gem!!!
Thank you so much, Lesa! You're just as much of a gem :)
This was a really lovely interview!
Sebastian, you are an excellent interviewer! And Danielle’s openness is heartwarming and inspiring. I really enjoyed watching 🤓🤓
Sebastian, your microphone sounds _great_. I wish your guests had as consistently good audio quality as you have.
Yeah unfortunately I can't expect folks to have the same infrastructure. I'll try to do some audio editing to soften it at least. The blue yetti mic is great and fairly inexpensive, but clunky and not laptop-friendly. I do try to make my audio and video as clear as possible.
This series is fantastic! Also, that bit about how you haven't mastered your "native" language if a small perturbation will just knock you over is so, so insightful. Thanks for doing what you do!
Thank you so much for the support and encouragement! This sincerely means a lot to me, David.
This was a great interview!
Loving your podcast! Looking forward to more!!!
So many interviews! Love it
You have brought on 3 folks in a row now that are just so nice and candid. I'm shocked that Minya confessed to 'imposter syndrome'. She's such a good communicator (and multilingual no less!) And yet...and YET- she still doubts herself. Again, this is super relatable. Utterly human. Great interviews 👍🐳
Loved the episode. Looking forward to listening to the podcast regularly. 🍀😊
Delighted to know you liked it!
This was so great, loved it!
Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it!
When Harris was asked about finding her sealegs in the lab. The shudder reaction was genuine. And, I think folk will find it very relatable. I was relieved that she confessed it took until her 4th year to feel that way. Might even take me longer- but what's important here is that it's more normal to aclimatise than some think. Great🐋👍
Fantastic title👍🐋 'I've seeeeen thingss ew wouldn't belieeeeve'😂👍🐋
Surprised too by the Pepsi grant- it's private funding at uni. I'm more for reduced gov intervention on grant funding. Capitalist orientated me. This is trippee👍🐋 your man seems very chill, very genuine. He's built up a lot of skill over MANY years which is refreshing to hear. Great start🐋👍 just to also say, I hugely appreciate his candor about stress and all the admin and demands and the drivel of the pressure to publish, you know that 'publish or perish' nonsense. Just- very relatable and so glad I watched this. Comforting to compare stories here🐋👍
Oh, hi! Didn't expect you to upload here. Been following you fot awhile in twitter/blsky.. good luck with the series!
Haha crazy timing I just finished reading your article in Wired about half an hour ago Where is your “notebook” published as mentioned in the article?
Lol nice, glad you enjoyed it!

Hi
Sebastian, you are a brilliant human being.
Very interesting phenomenon... Didn't know this was a thing
It's amazing how much cool stuff we can see if we slow things down :)
Wow Lovely Planting Thank you for good sharing 😊 LIKE 14 My friend, have a good relationship 😊
Excellent,new ,clean,life let you shine…!
Much easier with petunias than people
Nice !
Nice, res, Sebastian
This a great demo. Thanks for putting the time into this for all of us.
are you manually applying solder paste? did you consider using a stencil? excited to see you have a yt channel now 😊
been following you on Twitter for a long time! really happy you decided to make a TH-cam channel! thanks so much
Hello! Am a mosquito synbio (gene drive) PhD interested in plants excited to learn from this channel! Video quality looks good!
No dead bodies? I'm disappointed. LOL
Right?! Seems Vinny really did clean up the waterways...
What are those little bugs around the tardigrade
Small paramecium they tardies use as food when algae is low or they luck out on a catch.
Feeder microbes for the tardis. Often paramecium.
Might be a bit unneccessary, but it would be cool if you could equip it with a little hydrophone/aquaphone or whatever those underwater microphones are called!
Oh im gonna hack the crap out of this thing for sure! Grabby grabby and hydrophone it at top of da list!
WHERE ARE THE FISHIES??
Im sure they're there. Fisherman come to the docks of the east river all the time and apparently catch things. Maybe they only show up at a certain time since this river is a tidal estuary clocked to the tide of the long island sound
Neat.
My life has changed........
for the better
I wonder how this could be implicated in genetic engineering specifically other plants.
But whenever I poop in public, people tend to avoid me! well except for the cops
