Rosa Loves… Science, Friends & Brunch.
And I’m back.
Let me tell you, it has been a busy couple of weeks but I am glad to be back blogging. I really missed it. Anyhow, I had a lot of fun at the conference I attended last week. Last Saturday, I got on the metro and went to the Convention Center in downtown DC for the first round of scientific talks. My first day at the conference wasn’t too busy so I took a little break to meet with the lovely Ashlyn for brunch and mimosas at The Hamilton. After, I went back home to run some errands and then headed back to the Convention Center for more talks and to catch up with old friends who were in town for the conference. Overall, I think that science, friends and brunch are a pretty good combination, don’t you think?

Rosa Loves… A day off.
It’s been a hectic few days but I decided to take Sunday off. I had brunch and mimosas with lovely Ashlyn at Firefly and it was the best way to start my day off. Back at home, I spent time on my couch reading a new photography book, Science for the Curious Photographer. I have to say that back in college, physics was not my favorite subject however this book is really interesting and I’m slowing developing a love for the subject. OK, I admit it, the Big Bang Theory has also played a role in the matter. Anyhow, I spent all day drinking coffee, snapping photos, and watching the rain and it was great!

Rosa Loves… Blogger Confessions.
I am a scientist. I work in a lab, wear a white lab coat everyday, and I love it!
I became interested in science at a very young age. I remember reading chemistry and biology textbooks with the same enthusiasm I had for fashion magazines. And believe it or not, I performed my first lab experiment in school about the same time I learned to use my grandmother’s sewing machine. True story.
Why do I love science? As a scientist I am constantly looking for answers and knowledge and that fits my personality so well. In addition, human disease has always been fascinating to me and part of my job is to contribute to the discovery of therapeutic drugs. And while I do not get to wear lots of sequins in the lab, I find my science job incredibly fulfilling.
That’s my blogger confession for today. Oh one more confession, I totally want the Periodic Table of Elements shower curtain from the Big Bang Theory.
{Just to be clear, the reference book in the photos has never been near any chemicals or biological agents; it always stays in my desk at work, the only place where I can apply lipstick as I also love to follow proper safety and decontamination procedures ;) }
