What is the scientific way of saying something just happened and I rolled with it? Currently using the phrase "a novel [thing] was serendipitously generated" but I'm not sure it's the word best choice.

This is how worm people cast their imaging molds. Consider me (i) jealous and (ii) full of questions #DevBio 🧪

How can you tell if a researcher works with worms? Don't worry, they'll tell you.

There are very fancy microscopes, but most are overpriced commodities in an un-competitive industry that sells you 100 features you don't want for every one you do. And, unless you're a cell biologist or mouse-ologist, no one makes a microscope for the experiment you want to do.
