Lab party

My lab at school threw Sam and I a wedding bbq. It was really sweet of them. Our lab is very diverse and so was the food we had. Hyma is from India, Moses is from Uganda, Harleen is from India, Paul is from the US, Dr. Aun is from China, and my advisor is from Turkey.  


They are all really nice and helpful. They've taught me a  lot. It's always nice to be able to ask for help or get their opinion instead of searching the web or reading an article to find the answer.

Here are some of the things I've been doing at work lately.  


I've been preparing samples to run in SDS-PAGE. 


After weighing, pipetting, mixing and heating for five hours, this gel is the end result. 
Look how pretty it is!


I've also been using the Mixolab. I wonder who gets to name these machines...



 You add your flour, water, hydrocolloid, etc and it measures the torque, mixing time, and protein stability as the dough is being mixed and simultaneously heated. This kind of stuff makes me excited!
