An Update

I've been a bit quieter lately. Of course, finals are coming up. In between studying which qualitative tests can be used to distinguish between limonene and eugenol I've been running PCR in the lab. I'm working with selenoproteins, so I'll be working with a radioactive selenium isotope. For this I need to take a radiation safety course. Understandable, but that's a day gone. I also need to go to a seminar on difference gel electrophoresis. This is on the same day as my Linear Algebra test, so in between studying for what constitutes a proper n-dimensional vector space, eigenvalues and eigenvectors, and writing linear transformations in matrix form I'll be learning about difference gel electrophoresis. That said, I love working in the lab.

Anyway, this is the reason I've been relatively quiet for the past week. I'm taking summer courses, but I should be updating a lot more frequently over then.
