Lab Question:

We’re getting a lot of non-specific staining with an HRP-conjugated Anti-His Antibody from Thermo in our Westerns. Anybody have a positive experience with one from a different supplier?

I don’t think the people on my team would do that, and there are several other PCRs we do that work for everyone… it’s just been funny that this one consistently fails for everyone but me

We have a PCR that only works when I do it. Not sure what that’s about

Best skeet yet

This just reminds me of when the Pope said there are too many f*gs in the Vatican

The majority of my thesis work is in this paper and it’s great to finally have it out for review. Spores have a lot of potential value as protein carriers in vaccines, catalysis, and more. We dreamed up some new methods, synthesized a lot of DNA, and tested >20 new spore proteins for display.

Picking up an old flow cytometer from a shuttered startup like a puppy from the pound, exciting, but I’m worried it’s going leak all over the floor.
