Lab life. This week....

[marchatorium]

today, as this week was the most boring I had since when I was living with my parents.... I'll detail a bit what's been happening in the lab. He, he. At least, I will not be the only bored kid here. XDDDDD

interesting place

~A~

[marchatorium]

yes, it's a mess but I love my space. It's so different from those of my labmates :)

[perpetualwantng]

what does the gus gene do? i like your work spot...especially the little animal thingies. :o)

[marchatorium]

hey, thanks! All of them are gifts from different places my labmates visited. It's like a tradition. you travel, you bring something for the lab people's desks. :)
Gus gene: its protein transforms glucose (or glucose sustitutes, as x-glu) into a product made of 4 units of glucose and with different properties.
but when it transforms x-glu instead of glucose, the X-glu is transformed into blue-colored products :)

[perpetualwantng]

that's so nice! :o)

what is the purpose of x-glu?

[marchatorium]

just to produce the blue precipitate. It's used to determine where a gene is expressed. ^^

[frosty_pickle]

Neat!

[marchatorium]

Yes, I know it's a mess... but it has my signature in it,. xD

I love microscope slides, but man, that must have been tedious! Looks cool, though.

[marchatorium]

It's big time tedious, but the results will be cool! *crosses fingers* ^^

*cheers for that*

Go, little.. thinguies! Turn the right color! Or... something! The RIGHT something!

Here, I had to dig for it, but here is closer to fine -the PhD version-

I want to be a doctor of philosophy!
....
I wanna be just like the man who's granting my degree
he graded my performance
he said he could see through me
i spent six years prostrated to the higher mind
got my diploma, and I WAS FREE

[ghaidin]

free....
free....

FREE!

*sigh*

Let's ignore the part where it says "I wrapped my ego around me like a blanket, but my thesis took my poster and it shrunk it...I'm crawling that's for sure
:P

[ghaidin]

the gluey thing looks yucky. Your desk is colorful messy love :)

[marchatorium]

hehehe :) thanks! I promise I'm going to clean up the mess ^^

[ghaidin]

neh, it all looks quite clean and organized, actually.

save for the pile of papers, but we all know that papers and research notebooks are just impossible to keep organized. *looks around at the pile on her right, the pile on her left, the pile on the window seat further to her left, the box and folders stacked vertically and horizontally in the shelf behind her* errrr, yeshhh, your place looks like organized mess. My table... *headdesks* belongs in another planet

[marchatorium]

oh.. that pile of papers. Had to be cleaned up since november see? T___T I'm such a pig. bwaaa
