NextGen Voices: Science-inspired sustainable behavior.

Abstract

There are more than 20,000 unique proteins in our body, but even a small change to one of them can be lethal. The environment, like our bodies, is a complex network of systems, and even seemingly small alterations can lead to drastic consequences. I take this message to heart by using public transportation instead of driving into work. It is challenging to schedule experiments within the transit schedule. However, through careful planning I'm still able to work effectively. Also, transit gives me a dedicated time to read literature, analyze data, and write responses to NextGen Voices surveys.
