Allo! Second brother online finally. I gave my first lab meeting talk to an audience of 20 yesterday. Since I did it in English, and I mumble, I think probably only five people understood, which makes giving science talks a helluva lot less nerve-wracking I have to say. It went pretty well though, and I survived. Lab is pretty cool these days. I don't work in this building, but I work right next to it, and it's a lot prettier than my building so I decided to show you this instead. Actually, this is where Louie Pasteur used to live and now it's a museum. They still have his flasks where he proved that microorganisms come from the air and are not spontaneously generated. And they are still microorganism free! Pretty cool actually. As for me and my work, I'm pursuing some nice results in the lab. I've been making mutant bacteria which fluoresce which is cool since I can show you a picture. The bacteria growing on the right will be the topic of my first paper out of this lab I think.
Jessica started her nannying job yesterday and discovered that the three year old is a monster. She was pretty wrecked, so here's to hoping it gets better. If anyone has any great ideas about how to deal with a three year old monster, we're all ears.
The bacteria could easily become an idea for a quilt. Which reminds me, I want copies of your heat arrays for future quilt consideration.
