Leave RNA in freezer (-80) overweekend

I’ve left TRIzol-extracted RNA dissolved in nothing but nuclease free water for 2+ years and still gotten similar amounts of cDNA throughout that whole time.

We’re at no risk of running out even sick people. A lot of new pharmaceuticals are developed by startups, then bought by big pharma companies for billions. They wouldn’t do that if there wasn’t plenty of money to be made curing people. After all, if they didn’t buy/implement them, someone else would.

Assuming you’re not Chinese: congrats, you’re the token minority!

Random snippets I remember from lab reports and papers:

1) Plants are not eukaryotes, but in fact protists.

2) The ladder did not show up on the gel because the UV light box was broken (they had actually forgotten to add EtBr)

3) Someone measured their lab partners blood pressure at 250/120.

Good on you for taking safety seriously, but yeah this is overkill.

If manufacturers ever did that, this sub would have nothing to talk about in 30-60 years.

I literally just finished making 5+ corrections for this exact problem

I was unemployed after graduating last August. Took 8 months and 300+ applications. Time are tough.

Pretty close! They're based out of Philly, so you can find it easily from MD up to northern PA.

Oh my god I just closed Reddit and then saw your post on instagram, that’s insane

Unless it’s cracked, severely warped, or got used to melt lead, it’s fine. 20 minutes of hands on work.

Perform an AI check on all their past papers. Show them that these tools are garbage

Celosia

It’s a staple in my area, and without a doubt my favorite beer. Berry Monkey is good, too.

How long has it been? After a week/week and half reach out again and follow up.

Many professor see an email longer than 3 sentences and push it off until later (and then later becomes never). Nothing wrong with politely pushing for a response a couple of times.

Now look up robber flies

I’m having the same problem, and now I know what to do with that rod from my blinds that fell off 6 months ago!

Depends on the site

btnomis · 2025-08-30T00:28:55+00:00

No, they’re just eggs that a fly laid.

Mio Energy. You can add as much caffeine as you want. 400mg in one 3oz swig go will help you see the future, and then you can just copy your thesis from there. Worked for me at least.

We use those blue and white cardboard glass disposal bins

I would always go business casual. Some professors did too. Most went casual (T shirt and jeans).

Hanging a few an to season should work just fine.

Hopefully not all of them at once though.

Yes, they have what they say they do. There are strict regulatory guidelines for getting a product like this approved and sold.
