All my tubes and wires, And careful notes, And antiquated notions...

It seems through throughout most of this project I've been throwing out more things than I've been actually getting out of this experiment. All the pipette tips, the tubes, the gloves, the swabs, the gel, the paper, the tape... It's quite a lot. (Maybe another SI project of mine is to design and advocate for recyclable plastics for use in laboratories).
     But anyway, the agenda today was to prepare everything for shipping (on Monday now. Hopefully that's what will happen) and to start the PCR process on the last 13.

Label everything, put it in rediculously small tubes.
 Start the PCR process and I need to keep it in the thermal cycler until Sunday because tomorrow I have to go read trivia questions for a Dorman quiz bowl tournament. Sunday, I'll have to be on my game and prepare the electrophoresis gel and run everything.

Well, that's really all I did today. Here are today's pictures:
