Class of 2014!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
my lab is the laziest/awesomest lab ever. If it's possible to buy something pre-made, we do. Even our PCR mix comes in a 2x solution, with the mgcl2 and the enzyme and all the dNTPs already added.

Haha, that'd save us so much time especially making Western gels. Sometimes it'd leak or only some wells would form. In my lab, we make everything that we can.
 
does everyone just press refresh on this page every 5 minutes? this seems extremely inefficient. Why not just have a chat channel?

Yes, I agree...another reason I think Facebook would be a LOT easier 🙄
(...and it's not often I would prefer Facebook chat to any other service, but this case is kind of special)
[email protected] if anyone prefers to chat on there...
 
I don't know what y'all are talking about. Silly science people.
Me neither. For a second, I felt like I understood what (some of) the girls here feel like when we go off on long talks about sports

but science makes me so happy!
 
man you guys are more than contributing your fair share to get this thread to 100k
 
this thread is going to be so filled with happiness once waitlists start moving

Mos def

You guys make me miss being in lab, and I've only been away for 3 weeks. =/ I totally miss the smell of fresh autoclaved LB and E. coli haha.

Ugh, I hate the E coli smell. Sometimes I hang out in the building with all of the Micro labs and have to leave when the E coli smell gets too bad.

making that western gel is sick

we should have a lab party, take centrifuged shots and do lines of EtBr off each other

That's one of the only things I used to do in the old lab I worked in. Westerns were pretty much the only thing we did.

I don't know what y'all are talking about. Silly science people.

I'm happy that I actually know what they're talking about for once when it comes to lab things. :laugh:

....and before you even think about mentioning it...I know I should have been wearing goggles and not had my hair in the flame. It was a photo opp people, there's no nerdy lab gear in modeling 😉 )

an exhaustive list of horrible lab smells:

old stinky mouse cages that people don't take back to the mouse house for weeks > the mouse house > > beta-mercaptoethanol > methanol > LB > frog rack

anyone add as they see fit

I would like to add empyting soil traps that have been fermenting for 6 months to this list. :barf:
 
he was a semi-creepy guy who started a thread about posting your real picture and then said very flowery, effusive things to all the women who put up their real pictures

... i lurk.

Except me. He didn't make any comment about my pics. Must mean I'm uglies. 🙁 Or he was scared to creep out someone who could ban him. :meanie:

first of all, i love your avatar. sometimes when i'm really tired, i think that might happen as i eat my cereal in the morning.

ewwww i remember him. we could probably delete the "semi" above.
 
😛 rawr

that's tiger for thanks mucho

one of my cats, i sometimes feel like he is just faking his inability to speak english, because when he makes noise it literally sounds like a human being saying "meow," though a little high-pitched. i'm hoping he says rawr next

same! this picture of a kitty gets me through some really groggy mornings in the lab sometimes (i have a copy taped by my bench, which is probably on the level of those "hang in there" posters that might just be mythical 'cause i don't know if i've ever seen one)

re, semi: i like to give people the benefit of the doubt. It seemed like maybe he just had different cultural expectations with regards to how/when it's appropriate to express attraction to other people

fair enough. i will add that if you put your pix up on the internet, you have to be ready for responses, ones you like and ones you don't.

i can talk to him if you'd like

:laugh: did you list cat whisperer on your app? its a very rare skill.
 
how would you feel if i told YOU to stop eating human food?

think about that.

but pasta is not for cats. beer is not for cats (this one was really bad but he just STUCK HIS PAW RIGHT IN A PINT GLASS). ice cream is not for cats. yogurt is not for cats. sweet potatoes are not for cats. he's driving me nuts

Yep, I am okay with that. I am not easily offended and I think it's more fun to personalize things. I don't think I would post pictures of myself partying on here, but it's fun to share interview trail pics, science-type lab pics, etc. It's fine if someone doesn't like it...they don't have to look at it then 😀

if this whole doctory thing doesn't work out, i'm going to have my own tv show where i teach bad cat owners to be pride leaders

agreed!

you know, i think was taken aback in how you so openly shared your identity. but its refreshing! there isn't a lot of transparency in this process as it is.
