Peasant Pies sells interesting drinks.
Crayon drinks. Cool, eh?
Right now, I’m just sitting in the cave waiting for Eric and Katja to do 26 minipreps for 13 successful transformations. We re-did transformations for 8 constructs, but they still need incubation/growing time on CARB or KAN plates. We will do minipreps for those 8 tomorrow.
In other news, it’s iGEM week 3. I met my buddy, Jason, who is in the joint graduate student group between UCSF/Berkeley. He’s on track to get his M.D./Ph.D. dual degree. Team HL-60 is split up between Anyur and Jason/Bethany. Anyur is teachcing Cathy and Rye-lye how to perform the transwell assay while Jason and Bethany are teaching Eric, Katja and me how to transform TG1 cells (strain of E. coli) with plasmids contianing our constructs.
This morning, we also went to bug Arthur to teach us how to operate the EZ Taxis Scan machine. I have to go back there and finish assembling the assay. Speaking of which, I left my pilot pen in the Weiner Lab. Gotta go get it in a couple minutes.
Bethany was saying how team HL-60 doesn’t have post-it posters with agendas and constructs posted up on the wall for easy reference. Maybe we should buy crayn drinks and draw on posters with crayons. Hah. Cheesy. Blog again later!
