Do All The Science!: Lab book hell
http://doallthescience.blogspot.com/2011/02/lab-book-hell.html
Do All The Science! Wednesday, February 2, 2011. I always say I'm going to change. I'm going to do things properly this time. And in the end I spent 2-3 hours compiling bits of paper and cut up protocols to paste into my lab book.trying to make sense of what I meant when I scribbled something down. And then it just looks 10x worse in my left-handed scrawl. Of course the last phrase reminds me of a scene from Four Rooms:. If the simple fact that I didn't want your bloated,. Do ALL The Science!

Do All The Science!: February 2011
http://doallthescience.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
Do All The Science! Thursday, February 10, 2011. Dare I say it. The lack of posts have stemmed from the constant mental debate I've been having with myself. Due to some personal reasons, I'm questioning whether or not I want/need to push through for the PhD or call it a day with a masters degree. And no.the reasons do not include A) being pregnant or B) failing my qualifying exams as I haven't taken them yet. So, much to the derision of some, I'm seriously wondering if busting my ass for the PhD is worth...

Do All The Science!: surely NASA has a few grand lying around...
http://doallthescience.blogspot.com/2010/12/surely-nasa-has-few-grand-lying-around.html
Do All The Science! Sunday, December 12, 2010. Surely NASA has a few grand lying around. The whole arsenic bacteria. Discussion is still going strong. There's a million different angles on it, which I won't go into detail because I don't consider myself at the level of expertise to explain it all eloquently. I'm sure a simple google search will yield better reviews of the whole matter. Ed Yong at Not Exactly Rocket Science. Has a few discussions concerning the chemistry side of things. Nonetheless, later...

Do All The Science!: March 2011
http://doallthescience.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
Do All The Science! Monday, March 14, 2011. All scientists matter. mmmkay? The lack of posting lately has been due to. Oh who gives a crap, I'm posting now right? A few days ago, I had to top up my lab's supply of MilliQ water. Basically our PI gives money to another lab, so we use their set up. I noticed there was someone new who questioned me last time I was in there, so this time I made a point to talk to the person and introduce myself. She replied, "No, I'm just a tech.". This tech was about ready t...

Do All The Science!: Things in full swing...
http://doallthescience.blogspot.com/2011/01/things-in-full-swing.html
Do All The Science! Monday, January 31, 2011. Things in full swing. My lack of posting is mostly due to the fact that I'm having a hard time figuring out what, if anything, I'm trying to say in my posts. To be honest, my posts feel like a whole lotta jabbering on about nothing.but oh what the hell. Of what happens when anaerobes over-grow in 1L flasks. I take that back now. It's really frustrating to plan experiments while opening the 10 day weather forecast and wonder if your plans will fly or not.

Do All The Science!: November 2010
http://doallthescience.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
Do All The Science! Monday, November 29, 2010. It shall be done! At the end of my last post I complained about having to work over the weekend.but it's over and done now. Hopefully the effort will yield some good data. And today I managed to do something so far yet undone: Convince my PI that my new scheduling of several up-coming experiments works better! You see, today my PI wanted me to start a 3-day process that I did not want to start. And it actually worked. So the PI now knows that somehow they we...

Do All The Science!: Rebooting the brain....
http://doallthescience.blogspot.com/2011/01/rebooting-brain.html
Do All The Science! Friday, January 7, 2011. Technically I've been back from the UK since Tuesday, but I think I'm still trying to reboot my brain. Falling right back into lab routine is stalling on me for some reason. I think it has something to do with these:. A) The last meeting with my PI went something like this:. Hmmm, what we thought was going to have significance didn't. We need to figure out where to go with this.". D) My car decided to crap out on me, and I'm currently waiting for the.

Science with Moxie: FINALS!!!
http://sciencewithmoxie.blogspot.com/2010/11/finals.html
Tuesday, November 30, 2010. I've been trying to meet my goals of making a post on SwM at least once a week, but this week and a bit of the next I'm absolutely swamped with finals and the end of the semester. So please forgive the lack of posts, but after the next week or so I'll have a lot more time to work on writing awesome little posts for everyone reading out there. To hold you over until I return, here's a cool little article with a video of mechanical engineering students building their own guitars.

The Light in the Mine: An Itsy-Bitsy, Teeny-Weenie Quantum Dot
http://thedatamineatuncc.blogspot.com/2013/06/an-itsy-bitsy-teeny-weenie-quantum-dot.html
Friday, June 7, 2013. An Itsy-Bitsy, Teeny-Weenie Quantum Dot. Dr Marcus Jones is an assistant professor of Chemistry at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. He has been researching, in conjunction with a team of collaborators, on what are called quantum dots. Quantum dots are essentially nano-particles that take in energy from photons or electrons and then re-emit that energy as a specific frequency photon. I’m sure you’re wondering what in the world I just said. Let me explain. It reminds me ...
