In lieu of actual news

Three more successful knockouts STOP Two for one gene, one for another STOP Total of four strains STOP Need twenty-one STOP Let's not even talk about transforming my reporter construct STOP So behind on project STOP Months and months behind STOP I hate molecular biology STOP
I used to be in the habit of invoking the minor demi-deity of academia. Habit revived: if I can at least get this cDNA library construction to work properly--to make up for all my other failures--I will offer up sacrifices of the hapless undergraduates whom I'll start teaching in a few weeks.
I still love my project but I suspect it doesn't love me back. T_T
Yours &c.
