My primers worked! YAY YAY YAY YAY YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!
I know there had been a point of time where my entries were consistently directed towards FYP but it gradually stopped because we have to perform all experiments in NUS and we're busy in school so yadayada, you do the maths.
The other day when I walked past the library with Hairin, we saw that the known-to-be empty area was filled to every corner with students and advisors, hogging on their laptops. So we both agreed that those people there... that was us during the holidays. Working our butts off like dogs searching for a perfect pair of primer. (A primer is a short DNA sequence.) We had meetings that ended at 10pm and online ones which lasted till 12 midnight.
Song Wen and I didn't get to do the experiment though. He was busy asking me to play restaurant city in Lab Management today. Nevertheless, Hairin and Mel must have done a good job. I hope every thing falls into place accordingly because Dr. Chu said that since our results have turned out pretty good and if our latest experiment should generate a consistent success, he'll get clinical samples for us to test!
SO EXCITING!
Using our very own primers and probes to detect real hand, foot and mouth disease samples! Do you know how big a deal that is? It is a very big deal! (To me at least.)
K I'm getting so draggy in my entries. Don't hate me yet.
