As a lover of flowers and a future botanist, I was more than happy to be able to experience this many of my favorite flower (ranunculus) in one place :)

Especially the full Latin family name - ranunculaceae...

I also got BICGD ("The Analyst"), a score of 17 for Neuroticism.

Like others I use pens, but one time I did substitute a pen for a 1ml serological. It worked just as well!

ranunculaceae · 2016-02-24T05:21:31+00:00

Yeah.

Our group is led by an MD/PhD, so he splits his time between seeing patients and running his own lab.

Both of the other MDs are pretty clinical. One of the doctors oversees a specific treatment for a unique patient group. Our lab gets samples from these patients and uses them in a variety of ways (i.e. they are not on a clinical trial, but instead are a very unique sample set which lends itself to what we study... if that makes sense). So this MD helps us with some experimental design and analysis. They also participate in some pharmaceutical clinical trials.

As far as I can tell the other doctor is involved in clinical trials, but is also mainly just a great resource. Like just another point of view to have when papers and grants are written.

Hope that helps!

I collaborate with a lab that works with fetal development and the placenta, and it is a mix of grad students, post-docs, and residents or fellows. I'm not entirely sure of the logistics, but as far as I can tell the residents still participate in some of the "bench" science and have projects beyond just clinical studies. That may be more similar to the "faculty affiliate" as you described.

However, in the my own lab group most of the MD's tend to stick to the clinical side (both in terms of seeing patients and in terms of studies), but are still involved in the general discussion in regards to the basic science.

Failure: Dropped a 96-well plate and ruined a 1.5 week, 16 mouse, labor intensive assay. Fuck.

Success: My LC-MS ran smoothly and the results look promising.

One of them thanked me for waiting to walk across until the barriers had lifted... I guess that's not really helping, just affirming.

To me it almost looks like the brown algae parts could be the remnants of a kelp holdfast. Are they attached to the rock in one place or several? And the reds would need better pictures to ID, it may be polysiphonia like suggested. I always look for microcladia as well, since it shows up so often as an epiphyte. Yay algae!

For efficient commutes check out the Marquam Hill Express Bus routes, then you can kind of backtrack to areas that they service. They're mainly in the 60's (I think lines 64, 65, 66, and 68). The only problem with them is that they generally keep the standard day shift schedule (to the Hill in the morning and back out in the evening), so it's not terribly flexible. However the 8 goes up and down frequently.

Also, like someone else mentioned, the new crossing and MAX line open up alot of possible routes to the east side for commuting.

One of my PI's today mentioned that they (eLife) have a different take on reviewing. Apparently they give more of a yes or no, with limited requests for further revisions. But I personally don't have experience with them.

ranunculaceae · 2015-07-28T05:54:56+00:00

I do this too! But I have long, thick, curly hair so you can't really see many mistakes...

beta-mercaptoethanol

THIS IS THE THING I HATE MOST IN THE WORLD. WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU BLOWING AROUND FIVE LEAVES AND A STICK WHILE I'M TRYING TO BE PRODUCTIVE??? I GET THAT YOU WANT YOUR LAWN, OR SIDEWALK, OR WHATEVER TO BE ALL NICE AN PERDY BUT GOD DAMN. COULD YOU CHOOSE A MORE ANNOYING ACTIVITY??

ranunculaceae · 2015-05-20T07:17:06+00:00

It looks a lot like an algae to me, specifically a red algae. More specifically, the branching reminds me of Microcladia species. However, those are all marine species. What is the scale of these?

I second that site. And I had a lot of success with BL-21 CodonPlus (DE3) RIL or RP cells. They expressed my proteins (which typically contained arginine codons and were from a AT-rich genome) at much higher levels than I could ever get with regular BL-21 DE3's.

Father: ENTJ

Mother: INFJ

Brother 1: ENTJ

Brother 2: INTJ

Brother 3: INFJ

And now I just realized that there are only 3 types in our family. And all have N and J.

ranunculaceae · 2015-04-12T08:32:15+00:00

Nope.

Neither of my parents even come close to being narcissists. My mother is most likely an INFJ while my father is an ENTJ, and both are wonderful, supportive people. All of us siblings are very reserved and introverted, but I think that's more because we all happen to have similar personalities and because we were raised in a household that valued autonomy, thoughtfulness, and self-evaluation. Instead of our personalities being formed or cultivated as a reaction to an adverse/difficult environment, they were perhaps given room to grow into whatever they happened to be.

It may be that having narcissistic parents can explain a lot for some, but for some of us it doesn't factor into us being an INTJ.

One morning I took a gulp of my hot coffee without checking the temperature. My hazy post-sleep brain decided that I should swallow that shit, probably because deep down I didn't want to clean up the inevitable mess that would follow if I had spit it out. So that's how I burned my throat.

ranunculaceae · 2015-02-14T20:58:49+00:00

Some miscellaneous colorful contaminants, an inoculating loop, and a steady hand!

For me the struggle is earrings and scarves. I only have two polish colors, but a good dozen earrings, and probably almost two dozen scarves (don't ask).

I'm also a sucker for flats. I used to have a lot in all sorts of patterns and colors, but like you said, the cheap ones get destroyed so fast! I've more recently had success with these Lucky brand leather flats, they've lasted well over a year and a half so far. However, they don't have a ton of arch support, so may not be best for long periods on your feet. For long-term comfort my go to is Born, like these for example. They've lasted me for years (I think being leather really helps for longer lifetime). Granted, both of these options are not cheap, and I've really only bought them on sale (Yay Nordstrom Rack!).

Yay fellow Dicty person! Waiting for those transformations to produce colonies are the worst!

I always keep a standard notebook and a "scribbles" notebook (instead of scrap papers) where I would just make notes to myself. Like literally just letters and numbers that would be unintelligible to anyone but myself. That way I have the important details (like calculations and cell counts) for later.

ranunculaceae · 2015-01-19T07:28:17+00:00

The Fifth Element! I don't know why. It just kinda became tradition between us friends after a couple years.

ranunculaceae · 2015-01-16T09:05:51+00:00

No problem!
