I am sick and tired of quantitating my microinjection data. I've been doing this for two weeks and I'm going crazy. I've microinjected and quantified over 10,000 cells in this time period, all in the attempt to finish this damned paper. I've injected soo many cells that I've even accidentally…
This is prompted by two emails. Both from good friends. Email #1 is from a friend who got Shingles, I think - (hope you get better, we'll all drink to your health Saturday during food-orgy ...

This may be a job for the MythBusters, but I'll throw this out as a puzzle for interested blog readers. I don't know the answer to this (though it wouldn't be all that hard to determine experimentally), I just think it's sort of interesting. There's a poll at the bottom of this post, but it…

Larry,

It's true, mornings are better, but wait until mid December ...

Watcha talkin 'bout?Professors don't hang around in the winter. We go south where it's warm and sunny. That's why we hire postdocs and graduate students to do all the work.BTW, why are you leaving the lab at 5:15 anyway? Don't you know you don't get a life until after tenure? :-)
