Shooting, Marcha Style.

I bombarded 350 of my Arabidopsis babies today, three lines, 115 plants per line. That meant 2 hours of preparation (covering gold particles with the different constructs,  tags, transport of the plant trays, etc) and 4 additional shooting hours. I'm wrecked. Samplings will begin tomorrow and they'll finish on Sunday morning, then I'm departing to ( Read more... )

wow! freckles on your feet? wooow!
(the fear about my freckles is that I had this completely plain face skin, I had three or four little beauty marks or something like that, and... age came and Sun made me have more and more freckles... it's weird. :S)

And so many plants because: one of the lines needed an statistically valid number of infected plants. The other ones, had to be bombarded with 6 different constructs, so the number of samples multiplies by the number of plasmids. :S so there.

Va, de rápido. El martes Art te contará cómo su tutor de tesis (francés) tomaba en vasos de precipitado en su labo (ya es otro pretezzzzto para platicar con él, jojojojojo), dice que sí es cierto lo de la pisteada en todas partes.

ánimo y suerte con las 350 elegidas.

So hugs you get! ^______^

I don't see anything wrong, either, but the fact that Lenin's drinking every single time I call him...makes me shiver.
