another lab day!

today I extracted some DNA from our fli1a:eGFP background and1/2 mutants so that we can genotype them. I ran an RT-PCR and I’ll do the gel tomorrow to determine their genotype (all with the help of the amazing MSc. student i’m working under).

the fish are all currently really small so it was harder to cut their fins, but I think it went well for my first time! hopefully my PCR is successful too...

the fins regenerate in about a week, so these fish will be good as new soon!

Currently reading ‘An Astronauts Guide to Life on Earth’

Best quote so far is 'What’s going to kill me next?’

As an engineering student and astronomy enthusiast, I don’t know why I didn’t start this sooner.

very excited to react to stimuli in a neurotypical manner today
