Turns out, being the bitch that does the English, grammar, text flow check in school group projects leads to... being the bitch that does the English, grammar, text flow check in scientific articles. Guess who's breaking a messy introduction written by three Portuguese native speakers into puzzle pieces and refitting it into something that resembles a cohesive text by a fluent English speaker? C'est moi. This is going to give me such an endorphins hit when it's finished. I should do this for a living lmao

#it's also fun that we are native speakers of three different portuguese variants #it would be fascinating to see how each of us would write this intro in portuguese. i'd love to dissect the differences #I can still tell who wrote which part but it's not the same #but this intro was mentioning mutations before the genes. and the specific country before the world. and gene 1 > gene 2 > gene 1 #and molecular and in vivo assays also all mixed up. so. i still have a bit to do. not to mention the rest of the paper lmao.#twilit personal #nini as a lab intern
