Revision as of 22:32, 21 August 2011
Week 8 : 15th of August to 21st of August
Monday
The programming side-project appears to be coming on quite quickly, now having the ability to search the [www.partsregistry.org Parts' Registry], mercifully sparing the user a visit to the notoriously-un-user-friendly Registry website itself. For those unfamialiar, the Parts' Registry is an online database of open- source genes and genetic circuits for use in things like iGEM projects. It's a magnificent idea, but most agree that its implementation has been an equally-magnificent cock-up (it's extremely hard to find the information one needs).
Tuesday
If all goes well, the team ought to actually purify reflectin by the end of the week, with the hope of producing an iridescent film on Monday.
Wednesday
For reasons that none of the team can quite put their finger upon, our experiments are increasingly succesful (and much-so) despite our following the same experimental protocols every time. One is told that this is a recognised phenomenon among experimentalists, equally-mysterious to all, and described as 'the knack'
Thursday
Friday
Saturday
The team have a rather civilised evening with a dinner-party.
Sunday
Let it never be said that students have it easy. A number of the team actually make it in to the lab today to prepare our protein for film-making tomorrow.
