Requests

Chili recipies, people. Tell me how to put my crockpot to excellent use (rather than sort of bland use).

Also, pork chop recipies, no dairy, with less than 10,000 ingredients. If it works with a crock pot, even better!

The good sense to study more when there aren't tests bearing down on me.

Finally, the calm and perseverence necessary to hand-pollinate Arabidopsis. And do more studying.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaah!!! They've got you doing that?!?!!? Yikes!! I've done that before, and I do wish you the calm and perseverance!!

Why they don't let you have fun and play with flies and instead torture you with weeds and worms, I don't understand!! ;-D

Good luck with getting all your requests!!

It's a laid-back genetics lab taught by a plant pathogen researcher. Of course we're doomed to plants and wiggly stuff. :-) I'm getting good results with my Arabidopsis, though. I have two or three mutations that have selfed and that I've crossed with male infertiles. After three lab periods bent over a microscope, tweezers in hand, I'm almost decent at crossing the male-infertiles with mutant (my mutant) pollen. Not fast, but it gets done. Thursday's challenge will be crossing pollen with female mutants, and deciding if proactive measures need to be taken with two of my other mutants. Other plants started flowering two weeks ago, and these pokey things still haven't put out adult leaves. I'm thinking something's gone seriously wrong in their growth pathways. And they're two different mutations! I just want to dump hormones on them until they grow or they keel over.

Cool!! Nothing better than science that works!! :-)

Hmmmm.... well, some mutations affect growth as well, but yeah, who knows!!

Good luck with the weeds! ;-p
