So on the menu for this week is the tasty procedure RT-PCR, and apparently my advisor has not run one since I was last here in the summer! What this means for me is that I got to spend my time in the lab yesterday "doing the dishes". It's like I was the last one to leave the party and I got stuck with the mess, but in reality I made the mess, left, and then came back.
Anyway, these tubes contain a caustic cocktail of carcinogenic proportions so there is a strict protocol for their cleaning. The most time demanding section of this was the washing. The tubes were placed into a tub full of water that seemed to have certain properties that caused soap bubbles to degrade very quickly. It got to the point where I began to play around with the idea that I should now focus my project around this mystical foam annihilating substance instead of paramutation. It is in my best interest to go water the plants now though.
Until next time.
