Lab Partner and I spent two and a half hours in lab today, even though it is Labor Day.
After a series of complicated, difficult, and increasingly awesome manipulations (made all the more difficult by the use of the biosafety cabinet, which means that you have to watch your every move so as not to hold anything over anything else and douse everything with 70% ethanol before moving it into the cabinet), we managed to transform the finished DNA product (you know, the one I've been complaining about since January?) into chicken cells. Finally. Now all we have to do for the next two weeks is sit there and watch the cells die as the antibiotics take over and kill the non-transformed cells.
I may even have enough free time to do my homework. Now that sounds like a good prospect.
