The whole day was devoted to Fluorescence In-Situ Hybridization (FISH). It is a really cool technology, and new skill to know. Nowadays, everyone is trying to use FISH in their experimental design. However, I think FISH is suitable for visualization to know where your interested bacteria and microbes are, which in my case is not my research question. Thus, as much as I am interested in learning something new, I were not so overly pushy. People were annoyed because there were not enough instruments (pipettes, kim-wipes, tubes etc), and we ended up having more people per group. And it doesn't help that the presenter wasn't ready for the chaos in the lab as well, and he was not able to keep the groups under control.Eventually, everything worked out. We saw the bacteria we stained, and everyone was happy.
Happy Valentine's Day. Hannah and I did not do anything special because we were far apart - She in New Zealand and I in Australia. However, I made a point to call her just to tell her Happy Valentine's Day, and I miss her. :)
