-
either ur lab underequipped or many hardworkin geeks like..*ahem ahem*Originally posted by hisoka:from my experience the labs in nus run til pretty late and have alot of pple
last time i did mine, i used up to 6 machines at a time..the one that gives lousy results i just ignore -
Fwah... you're all talking about Bio...
Speaking of which, I'm going through my General Bio notes.
The lecturer sucks. He's a great researcher with several documentaries to his name, but he sure as heck can't seem to teach a class properly.

maybe it's just the primer just dun like that fragment for that species' dna.Originally posted by alexkusu:given that everythin is right...or maybe the samples u received has degraded sufficiently to give poor results?
or maybe its human error
do you have anything to benchmark ur results on?
what u mean by benchmark? like got previous literature sequencing results?? i think for the species i'm given, nobody tried or published any sequences before. that's why i'm doing this work, to ultimately align with those species that have been sequenced before and look at phylogeny. -
alrite i ciaoz liao...see everyone tomolo...
sigh tomolo busy day for me, classes from 2 until 10, wif 2 hours break in between nia...

eh???Originally posted by the Bear:i'd have destroyed everything or shot lexy out of frustration -

they finally left you alone?Originally posted by rainee:hello starblue mei!
i cant stay long here cos i m abt to head out already, and tonite is the first time i m driving home alone w/o my parents beside me.
pray for my safety peeps
good luck no worries, you should be fine -
if things don't work out after many times of 3 hour waiting time..
-
but the lab really a lot of people leh. got post grad, got honours students and got urops students.Originally posted by alexkusu:either ur lab underequipped or many hardworkin geeks like..*ahem ahem*

wait a min... the other urops girl i like seldom see her in the lab leh... this is so unfair!! how come i have to work so hard, but her project like nothing to do one?

yeah, lidatOriginally posted by starblue:maybe it's just the primer just dun like that fragment for that species' dna.

so ur tryin to make a scientific breakthrough huh? good luck...maybe u need 6000 attempts.
I remember once there was this experiment..took 4 years to conduct. And all they came up with is a straight line graph -
i working near nus mah, go down very fast de.Originally posted by starblue: you in NUS until so late meh?
or you want can meet for lunch on some tuesday i gate crashing some lessons in nus
-
can u just imagine how frustrated you will be? cos after every 3 hours, you still have to run the gel for it for 30 min.Originally posted by the Bear:if things don't work out after many times of 3 hour waiting time..
and this 6 attempts are just the consecutive negatives. got other negatives that are not so consecutive. piangz... how much of my youth have i wasted on PCRs? -
you chose itOriginally posted by starblue:but the lab really a lot of people leh. got post grad, got honours students and got urops students.
wait a min... the other urops girl i like seldom see her in the lab leh... this is so unfair!! how come i have to work so hard, but her project like nothing to do one?
on the bright ide, you might be able to get a first author by the end of the year

ask help from the post grad students?Originally posted by starblue:but the lab really a lot of people leh. got post grad, got honours students and got urops students.
wait a min... the other urops girl i like seldom see her in the lab leh... this is so unfair!! how come i have to work so hard, but her project like nothing to do one?
NUS dont have different labs for different students ah? eg..urops student not so pro, so get to used the cheaper machines..while phd/post grad students get to use different ones in diff labs -
my project is carved out of my mentor's honours project. i'm doing part of the collecting of data for his project. but he and i will be using that set of data for diff analysis later on lah... and yes, all honours projects, urops and post grad projects must be something that is yet unknown. some peeps can even get a paper published in some renouned journal cos their findings are significant.Originally posted by alexkusu:yeah, lidat

That's the way it is.Originally posted by starblue:but the lab really a lot of people leh. got post grad, got honours students and got urops students.

It's just like how some people will get laughably easy FYPs while others get hardass ones.
The same goes for my industrial design project - my group is poised to spend countless hours in the engineering workshops and labs doing machining and welding to build a full-scale prototype.
Meanwhile. some other luckier groups just need to send their drawings and technical diagrams to their parents companies, and the whole thing will be fabricated for them.

hor...hisk askin sb on a date ahOriginally posted by hisoka:i working near nus mah, go down very fast de.

or you want can meet for lunch on some tuesday i gate crashing some lessons in nus see how. tuesdays i usually eat with friends... now we not taking the same modules, so very hard to have lunch together. tuesday is like the best date. -
wad is "get a first author"?Originally posted by hisoka:you chose it

orh, its liddatOriginally posted by starblue:my project is carved out of my mentor's honours project. i'm doing part of the collecting of data for his project. but he and i will be using that set of data for diff analysis later on lah... and yes, all honours projects, urops and post grad projects must be something that is yet unknown. some peeps can even get a paper published in some renouned journal cos their findings are significant.
then most likely ur 'mentor' gets almost all the credit while u do the hard work hor
ddnt knw nus got such system..my uni requires project with lecturers -
there is no such hierachical lab system lah... for those research labs i mean. the labs are divided according to their disciplines and area of expertise. like my lab is the evolutionary biology lab. next to it is the ecology and conservation lab. liddat loh. so depending on what you project is about, you go to the respective labs.Originally posted by alexkusu:ask help from the post grad students?
