Sorry this post is a little late, I was very busy yesterday preparing for Easter today, but thankfully I've gotten a bit of a break today, so, I'm writing the post now. Unfortunately, we weren't able to do anything else in the lab, because I was unable to come in on Friday, and nothing happened on Thursday because even though I thought things were going to happen, one of my lab coworkers (I guess that's the right word?) didn't show up, so we couldn't get anything finished. On Saturday, as I said I was tied up, but I managed to nip in just long enough to perform the fastest cell split ever and look at some slides of heart and liver tissue before heading back home.

So, to sum up, we have, last time I checked, two cells lines infected with virus and antibiotics, and the rest have yet to be transferred over to the wells. Should be getting more stuff done tomorrow, people most definitely going to be there. I'm going to try to get the protocol for refining the RNA, DNA, and protein from Mari because even though it's not technically part of the project, it's still interesting and a wide spread procedure. So, hopefully by Monday we will be able to get some more stuff done to get the cells on their way to being killed for science!
