Long weekend!
I'm just biding my time until I have to leave for UCLA to Bob's birhtday cake. I think I shall stop by Trader Joe's on the way to pick up some cheese etc. Memorial day is round the corner and everyone is getting lazy.
I somehow ended up with unenviable task of coordinating the lab demo of the sea urchim embryo sorter machine. Apparently this machine will be able to sort gfp expressing from non expressing embryos. I can imagine that it might be really useful. If it works really really well it might speed up my PhD thesis! I am really hoping for that, because I need to spend about a week of my time with the salesman working out hwo the machine works etc. Otherwise it would just be a waste of time.
We have a postdoc interviewing at the lab today. Some mathematics/physics dude from Stanford. I guess Eric is really pushing for a more computational lab now. I think a good number of the people will be leaving in a year or so, and that means that lab will be very very different after that. We are getting two new postdocs this summer. One is a bioinformatics woman and no one seems to know about the other one. Well, I just hope I will be in a position to leave in about a year. I would hate to be around afer all the people I know have left!
Roger might be flaking out on me for the race. He is thinking of going to the mountains with Mariu, theo etc. But he's going back to Barcelona next week so he doesnt really want to take too much time off. Besides, he had also paid $40 for the race.
Nose just told me about some giant zit she had. Damn gross! Reminds of my abcessed leg. My leg appears to be fine now. It is still a little discolored and feels slightly lumpy, but somehow I think that I am going to make it......
I received the acknowledgement from the journal that they have my paper and will send it out for review soon.
