This more or less happened to my brother-in-law’s girlfriend. After her summer job in a lab she is pretty sure she’s not going into research after medical school. I created this character in honor of her boss.
HEPES is a buffer I have used in many many experiments. Some form of HEPES is often used when dealing with cultured cells. I’ve heard several pronunciations of it from different labs, I started out pronouncing it “HEEPS” and when I was in grad school one of my bosses called it “Heep-Ees.” So I really don’t know. I’m sure all of you cared so very much about that.
