Lab Halloween fun before lab reception for Weiqing Xu’s departure to the lab of @jonasries.bsky.social

We will miss you Weiqing!

The journey continues. UT Austin and Oden tomorrow and Friday. Here with Dima Makarov :)
(Discussing Bach, Richter, Gould, Yuja Wang, and maybe some single molecule 😊)

Thanks to the CTBP for the wonderful invitation for a seminar at Rice! 🙏
Joining me are Tolya Kolomeisky and Oleg Igoshin.

Plate counting is a simple:

You dilute a sample, plate a small volume, and count colonies.

Say you dilute by 200×, and count 50 colonies.
Easy just multiply 50 × 200 = 10k bacteria, right?

NOT QUITE...
