The Genetics Society Summer Workshop ( #gsssw2016 ) was absolutely amazing. Everyone present had some novel research to present, and it was 2 days full of mostly genetics talk. We had our individual presentations, team debates, and a few guest lectures. All in all, a great, stimulative event. But most of all, the company present… Continue reading Brilliant
I’m in Edinburgh for The Genetics Society Summer Workshop! From the one hour I roamed around the city, it’s so beautiful. High hills everywhere you see, and winding streets, and level upon level. So incredibly amazing. I can’t wait to meet everyone attending the workshop tonight at dinner. It’s going to be a completely scienc-y… Continue reading Edinburgh!
Have you ever had this feeling, when you know, just know it in your bones, that there’s something amazing waiting to happen? I didn’t know such a feeling existed up until a few weeks ago. It’s difficult to describe, but it feels like a glowing ball of anticipation, whenever you think of the foreseeable future. You… Continue reading Unsaid
After that absolutely miserable Friday, I’ve been up and down, but it seems to have slowed down. Not completely disappeared, but better. My friends came up from London and Manchester for a few days last week, and we went out bowling for one’s birthday. It was so good to see them after what seems like… Continue reading Hot N Cold
I’ve been feeling rotten the last 2 or 3 days. Everything seems off, and I can’t seem to get over it. My mood has been in the dumps, and I don’t particularly know why. It might be because I need to study for the GRE exam on top of being in the lab all day.… Continue reading Black Cloud
I successfully did one entire immunohistochemistry procedure on my own. I thought I messed up so many times along the way, but the results were what we were expecting to see, so I was extremely happy. I just need to develop my finesse at it, and I’ll be good to go. I’ve been feeling amazing… Continue reading Goals
So, the day before, after lunch, I was allowed to look at sections of an embryo on slides, and then capture images of those which were showing regions of the gut. Yesterday I made up some stock solutions of the buffers that I’m going to be using in my procedure. And today, I completed the… Continue reading Lab Time!
Okay, so I’m writing as I said I would, at lunch time. So far so good. I had a long cooking sesh yesterday, making and chilling food for the whole week. I made turkey strips in soy sauce, turkey with lemon and garlic seasoning, rice, mushrooms, and some mushrooms and asparagus in white sauce. And… Continue reading Lunching
Yeah, so. Hehe. It’s been a while. BUT, I’ve made a firm to decision to blog everyday at my lunch break. Huzzah! Second Year has been completed, with pretty okay marks, according to standard. But obviously, not my standard, so disappointment (and maybe a bit of crying) ensued after their release. But, on the plus… Continue reading Le été
