Not Much To Report

Today, I ran a gel on my DNA samples. When I took a UV image, I had visible bands of DNA, meaning that my PCR went well and I have DNA. Unfortunately, the gel wasn't good due to an elementary mistake on my part. So, I'll be going into the lab bright and early tomorrow. Hopefully I'll be able to run a gel before I have to rush off to work.

I also got to attend an undergraduate student's practice talk on his research. It was very helpful to hear the comments and suggestions of the professors who also watched the talk. I learned that for short talks, data should be referenced but not necessarily in the presentation. ("Our data shows X, please refer to Y for a complete list of data.")
