👩‍🔬 I feel somehow simultaneously smarter and dumber after watching this video. Haha! In all seriousness, your project sounds really cool, and I hope you can make breakthroughs sooner rather than later!

It’s great to hear what you’re up to in the lab! And I appreciate you breaking everything down in the video so people like me, who value science but struggle to understand the more complex material, can follow along.

I was not expecting one of the booktube channels I subscribe to to be talking about HDL, but I’m here for it! I’m a MLS (Medical Laboratory Scientist) and a small part of my job is to run patient specimens through our analyzers to measure their HDL levels so I was geeking out a little watching this lol. Good luck in your research and feel free to share more about it in the future! 👩🏻‍🔬

That was fascinating! I've had a recent personal interest in cholesterol given that the past couple of times I've had bloodwork done my cholesterol level was so high that they couldn't get a reading on the level of bad cholesterol. The suggestion has been put out by my doctor that maybe eating pizza for 4 dinners per week is perhaps not the healthiest choice...

So interesting, I sometimes miss research in the lab. Very cool to hear what you do!

This is so cool! For my thesis when I did my Human Biology degree, I had to research how fast muscle cells regenerate after being damaged in old mice vs new mice. That was a blast but this is on a whole other level and it’s fascinating!

[geocat]

That is so cool and very well explained :) I work in one of those pharmaceutical companies usually trying to stop proteins from doing things we don’t want them to... and yes, most of the time we have yet to understand how things actually work...

[TheBookFinch]

I came for books, I stayed for the education. So cool to hear about what you do for work. :)

I’ve been in CryoEM too and will be starting my PhD using the same method to look at proteins that are associated with neurodegenerative diseases in the brain. Just found your channel. Nice work explaining!

[frankestock]

I recently learned about biophysics, and it’s great because I’m liking both physics and microbiology. Do you have any thoughts on how virology is related to this larger field, anything on resources to look into?

Hi😊 I’m a 4th year student in Japanese college. I started to study some proteins associated with microtubule from biophysical perspective 6 months ago. I enjoyed your video and subscribed your channel !!
I hope your research will go well☺︎

[joreads]

👩‍🔬 thanks for this! I teach a medical physics course at my Uni and I will point my students to your video so they can see the biology and physics overlap in your PhD!

[marcemallow]

Ooooo! Cryo EM is so cool! Such a great tool for actually being about to solve membrane protein structures. I haven't gotten a chance to do it myself, but I love popping in Cryo EM images of the bacterial efflux pumps I work on into my presentations. So tiny and and cute!

[annalisaely]

I loved microbiology in college and this brought back memories! I'm so excited for your research and what you will find out! 👩🏻‍🔬

What are the required a levels for biophysics? Can I still pursue this degree without maths?

[t.j.scifiquest]

Love this video. Thank you so very much for sharing it.

[niebieskie]

🧬🔬. Impressive, all I do is read and paint and you are discovering things 🙂

⚗️
I’m not smart enough to have questions, lol

[yknykydkly]

So interesting! Would you say that a physics major is advisable to go deep in biology? Nowadays I feel like there is a change in science.

[shilpamalhotra]

Hey there😃 It was lovely to hear about your research...I wish to pursue a career in biophysics as well but I'm quite confused as to what subjects I should focus on 😕 If you don't mind, can you provide some insight as to which subjects you studied to get in the field? It would be of great help to me to get someone's perspective who's actually been in that field :)

Wish you all the best in your life!!
