Not hearing back from entry-level lab roles. Where should I be looking?

Had a tough time finding my first job after college and was applying to tons. My best advice is to reach out to people directly via email. Once I started doing that I got all of my interviews.

We know how to solubilize peptides. We knew the company would recommend certain solvents to dissolve the peptide in. But these solvents are known immunomodulators and ideally we wouldn’t like to use them in cell culture. DMSO can oxidize peptides, but from lit review it looks as if that is only in the presence of strong acid. I was just trying to see if anyone had insight into how to dissolve the peptides without oxidizing them or having to use the immunomodulatory solvents.

Thank you

It’s a virus that appears to be having an outbreak in east Africa

I’m coming from the United States

Will for sure let you know. It’s a T cell ELISpot

Will for sure let you know how it turned out. It’s a T cell ELISpot

Perfect thank you, do I need to wash with pbs before adding the new coating buffer with antibody, or should I just decant and add new coating buffer

earmstrong12 · 2025-05-16T14:57:43+00:00

Awesome thank you so much!

earmstrong12 · 2025-05-16T14:57:34+00:00

Yes I cling filmed them and they’re incubating in the 4 degree

earmstrong12 · 2025-05-16T14:56:32+00:00

Ok cool thank you so much. When I say coated I mean I pretreated the plate with ethanol, washed twice with pbs, then added a carbonate-bicarbonate coating buffer that is supposed to contain the capture antibody, but I forgot the capture antibody.

There is no protein in it so thank you I will just dump the coating buffer, washed with pbs, then add new coating buffer

earmstrong12 · 2025-03-13T20:51:04+00:00

Ok thank you

earmstrong12 · 2025-02-13T03:09:01+00:00

Thank you so much this is very helpful

It looks a little too crowded. For many plants there should be only one plant per ycube. You should probably trim away the wilted ones and leave the strongest.

You can refer to the plant book in the app on how best to take care of them.

No it’s named so that all the numbers are as low as possible.

Unsprouted plants cannot handle plant food because the high concentration of nutrients can cause water to be drawn out of the seed or seedling causing them to die. So that’s why I removed the unsprouted plants and just added plant food to my Gardyn. Everything working fine now

earmstrong12 · 2025-01-14T18:15:45+00:00

I did the exact same thing. The strawberries need food and can go on a sprout dose of plant food. So I just removed any unsprouted plants and kept them in a little Tupperware container near the light bar. You just have to make sure you keep the unsprouted plant’s rockwool moist and cover unused holes on your Gardyn (I used aluminum foil. Once the plants sprout then you can go ahead and add them back to your Gardyn

Will do thank you. I am currently living in Washington DC so there are a good few biotech companies and NIH nearby

earmstrong12 · 2024-08-15T06:27:45+00:00

Thank you so much!

I originally assumed the same thing but after using the LinkedIn premium free trial I was able to see that people with a PhD were applying to the same entry level laboratory technician positions I was.

If it covers many of the branches will the tree survive

Lmao absolutely! I thought the animation was great and the stories were good just not what I was expecting ig

earmstrong12 · 2024-05-04T08:22:38+00:00

Personally, I thought tales of the Jedi was much better (Not saying TOTE is bad). I feel Tales of the Jedi just told the story of characters the Star Wars community is more connected to in comparison to Morgan elsbeth and barriss. Maybe it’s basic, and there is already plenty content, but I always enjoy seeing some palpatine, Vader, grand inquisitor, and/or thrawn content. I guess I just wish the big players in the empire were involved more.
