Week Two of Winter Quarter; Lab Party!

Hey so on Friday Janet and I stayed in the lab to set up a new experiment pretty late, I think we spent 6.5 hours just getting things set up. It didn't help that our building is being combed through for all the lab equipment, nor that it takes autoclaves so long to heat up and cool down. But we really had a blast, we got to talk about some personal things and just hangout and it was great! Oh, we also got Chinese together because it was so late. We decided next time we were just going to bring our sleeping bags and have a slumber party in the lab!
Our new experiment is interesting, we are taking our five fastest growing cultures and placing plugs in flasks of sawdust, that green mulch they use for hydroseeding, and a mixture of the two. The mulch was pretty messy and we had to do it all by mass not volume so we had to measure out 10g of both on an old scale. It took longer than a digital scale would have!
Like I said though, we were there for a while so while we were waiting for the autoclave I read a chapter of my biology out loud to Janet, she liked that. :p All in all we had entirely too much fun! (Only science nerds like us would consider that fun, but hey!)

Oh and because it's awesome here is my quote of the week:
"It's good enough for government work."
