the devil you know vs the devil you don't

Posted in arne, epigenetics, work on January 29, 2007 | Leave a Comment »

As of last Friday, I’ve switched projects. Well, refocused my aim. No…it’s a project switch. I’ve spent approximately the last three years examining the long-range interactions along the entire domain in both human cells and in mouse tissues and have finally accepted that it might take another three to do the job completely and thoroughly.

Chickenmath

In celebration of getting two eggs from our chickens today, I did a little math. So far, we’ve spent $30 on the chickens themselves, $13 on the first bag of feed and a bale of hay, and $10.40 on the 50-pound bag of feed today. We’ve gotten a total of 7 eggs. That comes to [...]

After getting dressed in the mornings, I typically forget the specifics of what I’m wearing. That is, I may know I’m wearing a blue t-shirt and jeans, but the writing/printing on the shirt is lost to the recesses of my mind. I bring this up because today I kept getting strange, half-smiling looks around the [...]

Half-day

I worked a half day today, because of the holiday. Well, maybe slightly more than half a day…I was at the lab from about 8 until 3, instead of 6. There was almost nobody around. The only other person in the lab was one of our undergrads (how dedicated is that?). I don’t know whether [...]

Hot Yoga, the Aftermath

Posted in arne, bikram yoga, hobbies on January 14, 2007 | Leave a Comment »

It wasn’t too bad this morning. I survived, which always beats the alternative. My arms were pretty sore all afternoon and my legs are starting to tighten up now, but it was a good workout. I wish I could go every day, but their times are pretty incompatible with getting any work done during the [...]

Hot Yoga, 2007

Posted in arne, bikram yoga on January 14, 2007 | Leave a Comment »

I’m off to hot yoga, for the first time this calendar year. I haven’t been in about four weeks, so this is going to be most unpleasant, I fear. I’ll feel good afterwards…maybe if I keep telling myself that, I’ll believe it.

Projects, continued

Posted in arne, work on January 12, 2007 | Leave a Comment »

Forgot one project last night: analysis of mRNA levels in multiple mouse tissues of our genes, as well as determination of an appropriate control to use. Hey! Any suggestions? I’m currently trying 18S rRNA, beta-actin, and TBP. I’ve used the 18S and beta-actin before but the level of expression of our genes is so low [...]
