geek-y humor

This made me laugh today. And so did this:

I've always known doing molecular biology work actually has a lot of hidden lessons that can be applied to "real life".

flashback

Triggered by Ma'am Miren's upcoming retirement, we've been exchanging AMOR (slash MBGRL) lab memories. We've been having good laughs (I can imagine all of us laughing out loud in front of our computers by ourselves) remembering the make shift sofa bed from the PCR machine packaging, drinking (and more) in the lab, ma'am Miren's (in)famous one-liners, alien-busting nuns, progress reports, "favorite" RAs, etc. etc.

Shali sent these picture of their batches' field trip to SEAFDEC in Binangonan circa two thousand ewan.

I remember walking on the floating fishpens! Check out Flo's haircut and try to spot Adri (and yes... see how much weight i've gained since then). Haha!

missing bands

I'm taking a 15 minute break after compounding 6 kgs of ***** for my stability tests.

I miss bands. Pink-orange PCR product bands in agarose gels. Blue protein bands in polyacrylamide gels. Burnt brown (!!!) protein bands in western blots. Thick, screaming bands and thin, faint (imaginary?) bands. Yes, I miss them.
