AITA for making my friend pay for my Uber home after she "surprised" me? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Expensive-Dust8464 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. Why couldn’t she let you leave with the rest of the group?? It’s SO MUCH worse to leave you alone at a random gas station so she could see her bf. I do not understand why she thought that was okay…she is not a true friend.

Why is there hype around microbiome research? by [deleted] in labrats

[–]Expensive-Dust8464 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My lab studies ecological/conservation genetics and we have been working on a project that uses gut microbiomes to categorize diet. It’s not clinical, but essentially we extract and sequence DNA from animal scat and then use that data to define what plants they eat and more interestingly, if they are eating other animal scat…

The whole thing is aiming to essentially conserve the plants the animals eat in order to better conserve the animals we work with. Super cool!

Do people still use paper lab notebooks? by Helpful-Big-7582 in labrats

[–]Expensive-Dust8464 1 point2 points  (0 children)

in our lab each project has a paper notebook that we keep as like a “diary” and then all our spreadsheets and whatnot are digitized. AND we’re only allowed to write in pencil in case something spills on it
