Research Updates
Wednesday, October 3rd, 2007Hahaha. Yesterday I experienced my very first fire drill.
It happened while I was maintaining 2H2 hybridoma in the clean room. I was concentrating on the cells when I heard a noise similar to the noise of tile cutting. Since there were a lot of renovation at my place, I thought it was just another job done by the workers. Until suddenly, a doctor who worked there opened the door and asked whether i heard the fire alarm or not. I hesitated at first, thinking about my cells, my antibodies, my research data, my bag, everything I had there, but I walked out, still in my lab coat and gloves on. I walked out. And when I was already outside, the authorities said that it was just a fire drill. I felt relieved and laugh. It was very funny you know that for one moment you were afraid of losing everything and then, snap, it was just in your imagination.
Maybe I should relax a bit. That’s why I accepted the offer from my mum to go to….. BALI and spending 6 days there in those beautiful hotels, beaches, and souvenirs.
Let’s go back to the main topic of this post. Right now, I have polyclonal antibodies (HMAF D1-D4) in dialysis process and approximately can be used next Monday. My "children" are in good condition after all the "feeding" and "bathing" they are good as new. 2H2 will be injected to mice tomorrow and hopefully I can get the monoclonal antibodies as soon as I get back from Bali.
One of my kit has arrived and it’s ready to be used as soon as possible.
I am 90.9 kg (need some workouts).
