[Histonet] Legality of work

With no experience outside of the academic lab, let me tell you: break every
taboo you can.  Especially if it deals with a daughter and father--put her
in control (ie she knows what she's doing, or at least you taught her that)
and keep the father in it as little as possible.  This is what we need in
our labs!
It takes a small change to create a fantastic lab--I hope you create that,
regardless of the company's position in the stock market or expected
financial ground.
I speak from my idealistic grant world (in which, believe me, they don't
afford me anything over 2.5% living wage of 29000, the latest), yet I love
my job and wouldn't give it up for the world.  (Background: 31 with a BS in
microbio, been a technician for 9 years and loving it)
Consider that when you get a kid--would they love it as much as a geek like
me?

I <3 my science job,
Emily
