not enough lab space, not enough time and energy, not enough money,
not enough experience, not enough passionate peers and mentors.

I've been considering going back to school for a PhD for several
years, and the itch is getting more and more annoying, such that I'm
traveling to visit a potential graduate program lab soon. I had a lot
more energy when I was a teen working in my mom's kitchen and my
bedroom... still 90% of that energy and gumption to work under duress
or in non-optimal circumstances, but my Bachelor's program spoiled me
in terms of nice labs and free/prepared sterile media. Having a kid
and thinking about sterilizing a bunch of contaminated cultures in the
kitchen is really unappealing.
