ScreweD!!!!!!!!!!!

Have u ever had an experience with a bizzarre experiment???!!!
today was one such experience for me. i'm at a learner level with immunofluorescence technique n have done few IF experiments only, and my PPAR antibodies were working good, my in vitro cells were well cultured but experienced the downside of lab experiments today :(( I tried some different antibody n the goddamit antibody wasn't the working kind. DISASTER man! disaster..for me atleast. having put hell lotta effort..taking care of each bloody step, following rigid protocol n end-result, no signal!! kinda heart-broken for that. but never mind, it just strenghtens the belief that sometimes u dont get exactly wat u want or expect in life..aha!! life similarises so much with my experiments..so guys, be prepared, and always be ready not only for expected results but the unexpected too. And dont forget, there's always next time...So never give up.

The Renaissance 08'

Like any grad student, am also kinda stuck up when it comes to what projects to take up. but after exiling myself in the molecular physiology lab for about 5 months now, boy!! am i a proud soul!! seriously speaking, this is the first time, i have a feel for what it means to be in research. In my earlier days, no doubt, I've been a good student :)) but never was I research-oriented. After coming down to Canada and starting my Masters in Physiology at the University of Manitoba, I now understand what it means to be in the academia. hold on! it doesn't mean that being a researcher, u gotta be just involved neck-deep with publishing papers or reviews or writing grants, boy! its got its own fun too...i mean where in the whole goddamn world can u go ahead relying on your own critical thinking and abilities and carrying on wild experiments, with the hope that someday, of course!!, someday will u be able to discover something novel--the panacea!! With this hope and dream, I cherish my days in the scientific lab where I dont get drowned in cigarettes or beer but get the kick from absolute ethanol, formaldehyde and fumehoods!!

WELCOME ONE AND ALL

Hi All,

This is my page where u get to share ur ideas/views/comments related to any scientic experiment/papers/news etc...or just about anything!!

Kinda exciting eh? for me atleast..coz like this is the first time I'm switchin' gears from my other side of existence..hard rock,emotions, personal kinda blog.
its rather poles apart n i leave it that way..as they say, "Dont mix business with pleasure"
So lets get set go...Ahoy! Travellers...lets journey to the end of science...
Bon Voyage!
