WORKING ON MICE BALLS !

Yea I chose my lab for PhD after 6 months of pondering... I wasnt going to be the 'worm boy' in the vulva lab nor gonna look at eye balls of vertebrates....It was mice balls that I chose to look at.....How good a prostrate they have I'll tell you in a month.

Another proud Bieberich'iite...

12 hours was pretty bad.....

I have probably done this just a couple of times before but it wasnt that bad then.May be I was younger then . After Sitting on the same chair for 12 hours on the trot trying to read scientific literature I feel completely exhausted. This would happen to all who postpone their project till the last day thinking you can stay awake the whole night.....

Had this work not been on wiki I might have wrapped it up in about half the time..the fact that people who know you would get to read what you crap made the difference - an additional 6 hours without brushing your teeth. Its wiki's fault. I could have finsihed it otherwise.

Wiki Down Down.....

WILL THINGS CHANGE FOR BAD ?

Last 8 months I have kind of enjoyed VIP status. With each lab trying to recruit new students they have taken care to be really nice to students rotating in their lab. All the blunders I did recieved the same response " Oh..dont worry ...you are not the first one to do that...just forget it" . Forget what ? Forget that I just washed off 200 dollars down the sink? Forget that I used a protien that took some poor guy 6 months to purify in a completely irrelevant assay and came up with a result that said nothing much? Boy , you'd have definitely heard them wrong.

But trust me thats the fact. New graduate students are allowed to make errors.Big or small they mostly get away with that. With the huge amount of money involved in every step in biology it often amuses me as to how can people be so cool about it. The sad thing is after a month it may not be tolerated anymore. I need to get used to people frowning at me if I am to play around as I did. But I havent messed up much anyway..it was just a couple of times. The mere fear that if I mess things up I might have to repeat the god damn thing all over, makes me overly careful as to what I am doing. Did anyone tell you before ...laziness can sometimes be of help.

But what makes me think of this now? With my cells taking days to grow, I perhaps am absolutely bored. Cummon cells...double up.
