Science, Beads, The Usual

I finished the green dangly necklace last night. I think it might need a couple of extra dangly bits in the lower bunch of them. The upper cluster makes them look a bit inadequate. What say ye?

Spent most of yesterday browsing the Affymetrix website; I was attempting to work out the basic protocol for gene expression profiling using their chip microarray system (check!) and to see if they had any pre-existing chips with stem cell-specific probe sets (um...). Some bits of their website may as well be in Chinese for all I can work out from it. My Quick Search for probes returned 40k results, which is getting on for all of the characterised proteins in the human genome!!

But now, I need more coffee, then I shall go and re-home my cells before they eat their flasks in protest at overcrowding.

...and I cried, into 96 wells...

Ugh, I have just finished scoring the last of my 96-well plates.
I AM GOING HOME.

In a moment, when I can focus on anything more than two feet away.

On the plus side...

...green necklace is amended and I'm much happier with it now.

Think I'm too tired to graph the squid right now, so I'm going to go to bed and finish the Guardian Cryptic. Only two more clues to go! If I complete this one that'll be all of this week's so far.
