I enjoyed Jennifer Rohn’s thoughtful and simple account of having ‘faith in the small stuff’ (i.e. what you can’t see!) as a laboratory scientist in her Mind the Gap blog this morning. Follow this link. Anyone out there in nano research have a similar tale?

In case you can’t find it via the link, the blog title is “In which I am start struck by the invisible world”.
On the topic of being star-struck, I remember during my PhD years being staggered that the near-invisible pellet of cells at the bottom of my tube could still be plated out and grow into beautiful, fluid objects in vitro despite having being previously battered around (enzyme-released from tissue), chilled to 4 degrees C and had 4 layers of antibodies thrown at them for negative and positive selection steps. And then I would dream about them at night! That’s the obsession of a PhD for you….
