| | So I have started research now. It is actually really fun, and I have enjoyed learning new techniques and trying different ways to do the same thing. The new gel purification method I have learned is very interesting, but also quite fast once you get the hang of it. Who knew you could just insert a filter paper and membrane into the gel, let the DNA run onto it, then just spin the filter and membrane inside a homemade "column" to elute. Its quite efficient. The project itself is coming along quite nicely. Im not sure what I can tell you about it, or how much many of you would understand, so suffice it to say Im working on the cell cycle, nondisjunction, and cancer. Thats all you really need to know anyway.
Life outside of school is fun. I get to come home and not worry about what I do or do not retain from the days frantic studying, and the weekends are about as relaxing as I could ask for. I dont know how long its going to last, but Im going to milk it for all its worth.
Well I better get back to work. I have to run another gel to make sure that I made something the right way. Otherwise today may be a huge waste of time. Keep your fingers crossed for me...
