I found out recently that the new PhD student in my department is incredibly based

At the beginning of this year, a new PhD student came in from India (we will call him Sanjay). He's pretty chill, no drama, my kind of guy. Unfortunately for him, Sanjay has to TA for his very first semester for an upstream bioprocessing course for the first-year students of the Masters program for the department (first-year students are notoriously stressed af + incompetent).

Last week Sanjay had to help a group of first years get ready for either an e. coli or CHO cell culture run (I forget which) which meant they needed to autoclave some stuff (if you don't know what that is it's not important, it's just a giant machine that makes glassware clean or whatever fricking google it). He's doing some important preliminary stuff in the other room, but Maria (a girl from the lab group) kept bugging him on Teams to stop what he was doing to walk a few rooms over to tell them how to do things. He started leaving them on read so she called his cell phone directly

Sanjay saw the call and declined it

She was complaining to me at a brewery thing last week and I told her I'm sorry but I love him for doing that to her and now I think he's really cool. She wasn't happy with my response but idc what is she going to do I grade her shit
