I had to stay in the lab late because of cell culture work, but that's okay because it's not like I get much done once I get home. I'm usually too exhausted to do anything.
Journal club was interesting today. Luke and Jessica presented a paper that was molecular in nature, but I managed to get through the whole paper beforehand, and understand most of the data and procedures because it's very similar to what I'm working with. Harking back to a past conversation I had with Jon about qPCR, I was able to follow this presentation too. I asked two questions, two more than I've ever asked, and I may have caused myself to look like an idiot, but oh well. I asked the questions that I needed to help me understand, and that's that. The mood felt more relaxed and so far, all our papers have been pretty good, so it's been a pleasure to read and talk over them. We only have one more week left of journal club, which is sad because we've just started getting comfortable with each other! Next week, Lauren and I will be presenting, so I better start reading that paper!
