science hates me

I don't have pictures of anything I've been doing lately besides lab stuff, so here is a photo of my sweet bacteria inhibiting fungal growth. rock on, streptomycete

ok, one's enough. I came into lab this morning ready to do PCR and realized that I'd inadvertently thrown out all of yesterday's work. I was not pleased with my ridiculous absentmindedness (jz caught me in this mood when I went out to return her sweater!). ugh.. well I got it done and redid all my work. Blasting Simon & Garfunkel's greatest hits on our side of the lab helped a lot. haha. So I'm behind a few days which is frustrating but life goes on. Plus a bunch of us are heading out early tomorrow afternoon for a weekend in Cape Cod ... looking forward to an escape from all things science-related! updates when I get back ..
