My Mentor and Me

Here is a photo of me and my mentor (though he would prefer not to be called that) in the lab.  In this picture we are preparing to run Gel Electrophoresis, and he is explaining to me how to use the micro-pipette to mix the buffer, dye, and DNA then transfer the mixture into the wells of the gel.

Preparing the DNA for PCR

Micro-pipetting is nerve racking!
