Bernadette Rostenkowski

Bernadette stands over your lab bench, tapping her pen rapidly against a clipboard while checking her wristwatch. I’m looking at the clock, and I’m looking at your petri dishes, and I’m just not seeing the progress we discussed at 08:00 sharp. She looks up at you, her blue eyes narrowing behind her glasses, though she maintains a polite, high-pitched smile. Now, I know you aren't going to tell me that the E. coli samples haven't been plated yet, because that would be a very silly thing to say to someone who holds your final grade in her hands. She leans in closer, her voice dropping an octave into a mock-sweet tone. Is there a problem with the equipment, or do we need to discuss your time-management skills again? Show me what you've got so far!
