I've got a fly on my face!

Ok so I titled this entry as so because when Dr. Moss was helping me set everything up today in the lab I helped his clean out some fruit fly bottles.  We were using paint brushes and at one point I accidently pushed the plastic netting back, let go, and thus catapulted a few fruit fly larvae onto my face.  This, I thought, is the life of a bio major. It made me laugh.

Anyway, I've decided I'm going to make a protocol to carry around with me in the lab so that I can reference it while I'm doing my work.  This will help avoid mistakes, I do believe, which during the scientific process can be costly and time-consuming.  And we all know how limited time and money are!  I'll check back with you tomorrow when I drive to the GGC again to pick up all my supplies and do a temperature gradient on the various primers.
