asimplechordI can't even. This day has been made of fail since the moment I opened my office door. The latest incident:
The post-doc who joined us in November has been running Westerns and saying she's not seeing bands at the correct molecular weight. All this time, she's been doing her analysis using the *native* molecular weights of the marker proteins, not the *actual* molecular weight once they've been modified with a dye and re-calibrated.
Months.
She has a PhD. So it's not like she's NEVER DONE SCIENCE BEFORE.
It says right on the spec sheet (which I post on the freezer door for all to see) that those are the native weights, and next to them it lists the ACTUAL, OBSERVED molecular weights for calculations.
What the actual fuck.
I am ready for so much wine, you don't even know. Too bad I have two more hours of labwork to do. >:/
