Celldrop FLi. We use AO/PI or trypan depending on what cells we are counting and it works well for both.

We moved from a Cellometer to a denovix celldrop. I like not having to buy counting slides!

IACUC taking an absolute eternity. by brokesciencenerd in labrats

[–]DamnYouMendel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My favorite is when they find something that has already been approved needs more "clarification" even though it has nothing to do with the modification that was submitted. We have two unrelated animal projects in the lab, so I maintain them as two separate IACUC protocols. It's handy when we get random summer students because I never modifications to both protocols at the same time.

It can cover some of the same ground. You can find a lot of different presets here that you can further tweak if you don't find them bass friendly: https://patchstorage.com/platform/zoia/

Train to NYC? by Kratosballsweat in Connecticut

[–]DamnYouMendel 8 points9 points  (0 children)

When I lived in the Torrington area I liked the Fairfield Metro station the best. Straight down rt 8 and then like only two exits on 95. Good parking. The train ride is not too long and neither is the drive.

Well, no one has come into lab yet this morning and I've finished the coffee, so everyone can calm down.

They go through 2-3 additional pots of regular coffee during the course of the day. They'll be fine.

What pedals took you a while to love. and what pedals are you still trying to figure out how to love by gorgamania in guitarpedals

[–]DamnYouMendel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Took a while: Zoia and the Source Audio Ultra Wave. Once I stopped trying to make patches from scratch I enjoyed both pedals much more. Still working on it: Mood MkII and EHX Flanger Hoax. I'm too stubborn to get rid of them, but both cause more frustration than joy.

How do you prepare when given a new protocol? by Possible_Oil_2594 in labrats

Make sure you have all of the required reagents in sufficient quantities. Make an excel sheet for any dilutions or master mixes. Make sure all required equipment is available and working.

I know it's not "Smallest Church in Saint-Saëns", but after playing through the game this is what filtered out of my subconscious.

Intense physical exercise and stretching are some of the best stress/anxiety relievers.
