Feeling bad


認識S之後每天都想跟他聊。

S是F大學的助理教授,搭上線之後就覺得算蠻有趣的人,也算好聊,唯在下的對話能力真的比較差,總句點別人,想想自己還是更nerdy一些吧。

令人頭痛的是,聊的時候心情很好,但沒話題後心裡又覺得挺糾結的,不知道S對我到底是什麼想法,是不是我一直在煩他,就又不敢開啟對話。想是單身太久,特別容易暈,心裡夢想著可以怎樣的,實際上又覺得既然不可能何必浪費人家時間,當朋友就好了,每天都在無限循環裏面煩惱。

希望有機會可以突破瓶頸(sigh)

養蟲蟲 and MOE workshop


蟲蟲塔 (Mealworm tower)
This is for Xenorhabdus transformation from M-form to P-form, by injecting cell cultures into those bugs. It's kinda fun actually (probably because I'm dark inside lol). I'm still hoping that science would work well and stay in academia, cuz there are still some exciting things needed to be discovered.

Anyway, this is gonna wait for 36 - 48 hours for the bacteria to propagate in the mid gut, and the worms would paralyze, turn black, and maybe diarrhea (?) and die. After that I'll have to grow the P-form Xenorhabdus again.

I think it's cool to coculture Sf21 or other insect cell lines and figure out what triggers the transformation, cuz still nobody knows what that is.


The other thing happened today was the MOE workshop. Although I already kinda know how to work with it, there's still some details that I had no idea. And surprisingly, they said that there's only ~45 people in MOE company, which is kinda amazing.
