Science stuff

I have finally received all of my reagents and am doing real live science! I am very excited about the whole thing. I currently have sixteen plates of cells growing in phenol red-free, high glucose DMEM plus 2% charcoal dextran treated fetal bovine serum and 1% pen/strep. This is a very good thing. On Monday, I will collect the DNA from two plates, the RNA from two other plates and treat the rest with a hormone called dihydrotestosterone (DHT).

Yay science!

They did that whole "treating with DHT" thing downstairs... as I recall from Coolfont.

The only time I did cell culture was during my rotations first year. Good luck!!

You mean you get to be all scientist-y and everything for real now? Yay you!

Aside from that - I'm currently spinning electric blue mohair. It's very happy.

I hadn't realized you weren't yet doing real science! Yay for you!
