Interview
Don’t know what happened, seems the lab scientists are struggling with other teams they are interesting with. If asked me if I would stand back for them. It is very unusual. Also, it was very wired. that they asked references - a online survey before they made finial decision. It really wasted my efforts. I wish they could have done the traditional way to check the references
