Week 13: 1st August to 7th August

Monday, 1st August

Seeing the month change from July to August has made us realize how much time has passed. It has been four weeks since we started this endeavour and we are still nowhere near where we want to be. Time is ticking away, as cliché as that may sound.

The day started off with the absence of two of our members that had fallen ill over the weekend. We missed them dearly but had no time to stop working! Nic has booked a session on Thursday to use the wide-field microscope. Operation fancy GFP chemotaxis stuff is a go. On the Arabidopsis team, Ming did what he does best (in the lab that is).

Nina and Si continued to plow through the modelling of chemotaxis. Si has also arranged a meeting with a PhD student on Thursday to discuss modelling root architecture. Finally Nikki and Yuanwei put their heads together for the good of the wiki.


Tuesday, 2nd August

Today was a good day. Chris and Nikki had a succesfull restriction digest of the backbone vectors. Chris got to do Nick's dirty work while he was in Silwood with Rebekka talking to ecology expert Alex Milku. When Nick got back he had the unfortunate finding that the bacteria he was going to use done have flagella, but its all good in tha hood because James found some GFP bacteria that move!

The modellers are in their dungeon modelling. Wiki man is making great progress.

Ming loves his Arabidopsis so were all happy they are being loved.
