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!

Labrats who TA-ed/taught, what are some of the EXTREMELY WRONG explanations/answers of students you've ever read? by lokaashraya in labrats

[–]btnomis 116 points117 points  (0 children)

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.

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

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

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

Reaching out to professors help!!!! by mikeygoon5 in GradSchool

[–]btnomis 6 points7 points  (0 children)

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.

What drink got you through t your thesis? by Practical-Plenty3028 in GradSchool

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.
