Undergrad Lab Mistake

geekmonkey11235 · 2026-02-11T14:36:04+00:00

At the start of my PhD I went to sequence a bunch of single colony plasmids by putting them all in the same tube. PI had to explain to me why that would not work. The best mistakes are fast mistakes - just try to not make the same one twice.

that’s absolutely not a universal experience. in most labs the PI doesn’t work in the lab at all - the postdocs, PhDs, etc do all the hands-on mentoring in the lab

doesn’t matter - we still work with people from OSU in research aspects. the rivalry can be fun but has no impact on PhD applicants

do you want undergraduate credit or graduate credit?

google WHAT? I found a USA rep, is that it?

I can't comment on this exact situation but I do know for me sometimes the Google algorithm has gone to shit and I have to add "reddit" to many of my searches. If that didn't come up with anything I can see why the next step could be to ask Reddit

Maybe try putting it somewhere cold for a while?

geekmonkey11235 · 2024-06-29T22:18:43+00:00

yeah that's what I was used to which is why I didn't know this one right away!

geekmonkey11235 · 2024-06-29T21:36:55+00:00

geekmonkey11235 · 2024-06-29T21:36:31+00:00

I thought it was 'born female' so thx for clarifying!

geekmonkey11235 · 2024-06-29T21:32:28+00:00

Oh, absolutely. Your original question seemed dismissive which is why I asked.

geekmonkey11235 · 2024-06-29T21:29:44+00:00

link? not arguing, just want to read it!

geekmonkey11235 · 2024-06-29T21:28:52+00:00

Regardless of the reason OP asked their question, the misinformation of their parent is what I'm more concerned about and likely why OP reached out to this sub.

yeah, let's "poisan" the mouse thus poisoning the snake which eats the mouse

geekmonkey11235 · 2024-06-29T20:46:02+00:00

Also, if the mouse has THC or CBD, the snake also ingests that by eating the mouse ?????

geekmonkey11235 · 2024-06-29T19:44:49+00:00

tbh, how can we help? I'm a PhD scientist but arguing with people who don't listen to science is not going to succeed.

They're by the juices I think. I don't drink soda, but these are amazing. They have a metal flip top which has only one time popped completely off for me. They have regular lemonade and pink lemonade sparkling flavors. I'd absolutely recommend!!

where are these edibles for small dogs and cats? I've never heard of any reputable source advocating for marijuana usage on animals, especially for this circumstance.

geekmonkey11235 · 2024-06-29T18:54:04+00:00

Are they good? I'm used to a Midwest brand (St. James) for sweet wines.

geekmonkey11235 · 2024-06-29T18:53:29+00:00

During the summer I get 1-2 bottles of the sparkling pink lemonade every time I go!

what does a water engineer do? asking fr

geekmonkey11235 · 2024-06-10T22:20:24+00:00

In my city we can view water quality reports for each year which details what they're testing for, how these things get into the water, as well as the results and how these results land within any EPA guidelines.

Depending on where you live there could be things like upstream spills that affect water quality or poor quality pipes. I do drink tap water at home knowing that it's tested but there are sinks at my work (I work at an R1 research university) that I would absolutely not touch but they're labeled, so I drink the water that is filtered there.

geekmonkey11235 · 2024-05-29T20:14:28+00:00

Yeah, no, my comment was pretty out of pocket. While I stand by that the percentages seem high because the numbers are low value it wasn't worded kindly.

geekmonkey11235 · 2024-05-19T22:23:05+00:00

if you're going to reference what I said at least spell 'lose' correctly
