So we're having a hard time getting bands out of the primers I designed. Today I ran a PCR trying to get the primer to work on several samples, but the resulted electrophoresis gel didn't show any bands, save for one of them. That one showed at least two bands! Sigh... Also, the fish don't want to lay eggs these days, so there still isn't a spawn available for me to use.
Data is starting to be produced from the zebrafish trials. I switched software distributions. The free one seems to have more plugins and can do what I want it to. :)
I played cricket for the first time today. Well, it is an adapted form of cricket so that fewer people can play. My baseball skills came into play, but I kept hitting the ball too hard. Cricket is more strategy since the ball can be hit literally anyway. No foul balls?! Crazy. I like it a lot though, so I may look for somewhere to play in the US!
Tomorrow is my bus tour through the Highlands. Look forward to a lot of pictures!
Pretty cool! When I was in Aldeburgh for the Britten Pears Festival, the other English folks played a bit of pickup cricket, but they were to impatient to explain the scoring system to me! Have fun in the Highlands, going to try any Scotch?
