Y’all I’m so anxious I am stuffing tip boxes. Also, my jar is empty

I was doing inventory and moving boxes in my tall black boots on lab chairs. Zero effs given for safety. Since my grants won’t be reviewed, I might as well do something! We should start a bartering thing, I have way too many random plates and tissue
culture flasks.

I’m thrilled to announce that Nerina Jusufovic’s manuscript on B. burgdorferi PlzA and cyclic-di-GMP has been accepted for publication in Mol Micro. There’s been a lot to sort out regarding this DNA-binding protein that has more in common with histones than with the classic Lac repressor protein

“Is there anyway M and I could get some more help with this project?
We will both have alot on our plate this coming semester and are worried this might be a bit much. “
(M is a tech who is planning a wedding, grad student 2nd year). Is it too much to expect lab work from paid tech and 2nd yr??
