Wow... it has been a busy couple of weeks here in the SC Lowcountry. Last week, the National Genealogical Society held its annual meeting here in Charleston... well, actually in North Charleston, which is definitely a different place than Charleston! Anway, I attended the conference and spent a whole week immersed in genealogy. It was great! Got to meet and talk to several of the big movers and shakers in the genealogical world, and I sat in on a whole slew of great lectures about methods and sources and ways to further my family history research. Came home on Saturday evening and jumped right into work. Unfortunately, though, reality set in on Sunday, with home chores to do, and then Monday it was back to work :-p Needless to say, I have not had a spare minute to do much of anything this week. Genealogy research? Nope... no time.
Work has been a bear this week, too. I have spent the week with an ear infection, complete with stopped up ear and excruciating pain. Haven't had one so bad since I was in high school with swimmers ear. And I've spent the week working on samples of human liver. Bossman is putting in a new grant proposal, and he needed work done on liver samples. So this week I have done more immunohistochemistry, looking for aldehydes in sections of liver tissue. And today I took my first stab at running an ELISA assay (ELISA = Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay). I think it worked, but I didn't have time this evening to plot out the results. Gotta wait til tomorrow on that.
So, wow... I'm actually becoming a cell biologist in my old age!
Just finished watching the season finale of "The Big Bang Theory". Nerds watching nerds acting nerdy.... go figger....
Have a good one!
