A few years after our move,I was thrilled when an opportunity arose for me to teach at the college. However, I felt bad when students in my classes asked whether they could join my research lab and I had to tell them no-I didnt do research anymore. Maybe it was time to explore whether that was possible.I had always claimed I didnt have a research program because I wasnt a tenure-track professor, but was that really the barrier? Was it just easier to blame my status than to try to get a lab up and running? Was fear of failure holding me back?Over the following months, the risks of not starting up research-boredom, depression, regret-began to outweigh the risk of trying and failing. I decided to give it a go.When I reached out to the chair of the department, he said he would support my plan as long as I was guiding students. Colleagues offered to share equipment, expertise, and space. I had enough money in a college-provided development fund to buy a few reagents(试剂). As for a research question, while teaching in the introductory lab I had learned that the cost of using worm Lumbriculus was inexpensive, and that it offered plenty of interesting avenues for investigation. I was ready to go.In June of 2019, I nervously started to guide my first group of research students. I worried that my skills would be rusty or, worse, out-of-date. Indeed, some bread-and-butter techniques from my past were no longer relevant. But I found that the key process of scientific inquiry-asking questions, designing experiments, interpreting data-hadnt changed. And my trouble tuning（微调），we had an interpretable blot-reason for a minor celebration. By the end of the summer, we hat generated enough data to put together a poster to present at a conference in January.I left that meeting feeling optimistic and energized about the future, wondering why I had waited so long to return to research.4.
