![]() Flow cytometry training materials usually focus on the protocol of how to perform a flow cytometry experiment, but they don’t always cover how to troubleshoot. As I created my flow cytometry training materials I realized that I didn’t cover all of these steps. It’s been a while since I learned flow cytometry, but baking bread reminded me of the process of learning a new skill: follow a protocol, assess the results and identify problems, determine how to fix the problems, and repeat the protocol with adjustments to address the problems. And while I learned to perfect my bread in my free time, I spent a lot of my working hours on training materials for new flow cytometrists – that’s when I started to realize some similarities between these two tasks. I decided to take on baking sourdough bread (like many other quarantined individuals). When the global pandemic hit and Chicago’s shelter in place orders prevented me from going into the lab, I started doing some experiments in my kitchen instead.
