An Update from the Bench

Aug 2, 2006 commentary, news links, site news

So you might have noticed that the posts have slowed down considerably over the past few weeks.

I’ll just come out and say it: I’ve been busy in the lab. There was a little pressure put on last month to finish the study that I’m working on, so I’ve focused hard on doing just that. There has been a lot of time spent at the microscope, a long series of immunohistochemistry experiments, and a number of side distractions to make completing the work a little tougher.

But the hard work has paid off. No, the study isn’t done, but it is producing some interesting results. Results that will likely be published in a peer-reviewed journal in the future. I’ll be sure to update the readers once it becomes publicly available.

With that said, there has been some great science writing published around the blogosphere over the past few weeks. Conveniently, a good portion of it is covered in Tangled Bank #59. Link

    As an old research advisor said: Don’t tell me about the pain. Just show me the baby.

    Sounds familiar!

    I am actually having a good time doing this stuff. I don’t like the repetition of assays, but I do like accomplishing quite a bit every day. The repitition means that I pretty much have my protocols down, and it’s been awhile since something hasn’t worked. The only reason that I’ve had to repeat an experiment over the past three weeks is when I realized after 1 1/2 days on a stain that we were out of a reagent and it would take a few days to get it in.
