Usually i hate molecular bio labs with a passion. Nothing worse than 5 hour labs and leaving uni when the sun has already disappeared but today's lab was surprisingly funnn!! we extracted DNA from E. coli cells. They are me and jen's new babies and they behaved so well for us...we are proud beaming parents. (this would have been a good time to take a photo of our babies but i forgot..so maybe i will next lab) Our DNA babies aren't very attractive though....they actually looked like..stringy.. thick,white/yellow...ummm..mucous. Sorry for the rather obscene description! but extracting DNA is actually fun!...either that or we were both high on caffeine.
Jen and I were having some random conversation on the topic of flirting when Jen suddenly decides to blurt out: "we don't flirt..we just do it...hence..we have both our DNA in that test tube" Ummm...okayyy...she said that...NOT ME and yes..we were high on caffeine.
Anyway..for once our molecular biol lab went smoothly..now that's something worth celebrating! I can't wait to see my DNA babies again in 2 weeks. For now..they have been safely stored away. Anyway...weekend is coming! yayy =) i'll have photos to post up!
