Lab Notes & Fluorescent Feelings

Lab Notes and Fluorescent Feelings is not your average lab report. It’s a poetic survival guide for the science souls who’ve cried over failed experiments, healed through memes, and kept showing up to the bench with caffeine in one hand and hope in the other. Through a chaotic and heartfelt mix of poems, reflections, and science-girl confessions, this debut collection dives into the fluorescent-lit world of cancer research, burnout, and becoming. Sahaja captures what it means to be a young woman in STEM: soft, smart, tired, and still romanticizing research. Whether you’re deep in academia or just vibing with the aesthetic, this book holds space for your feelings.
