Free at last!

Semester's obligations have been completed and they don't seem to be on the verge of booting me out yet. I also seem to have a Rhodospirillum mutant. Three weeks to get some work done in peace...

Arghhh. 5 more papers to go. This last one was a real stinker. Introduction that started with "to test whether X was attracted to Y, we observed..."; Figure with one sentence caption; 1 page discussion; 3 references. Have I taught this girl nothing?!?! Sigh. At least she didn't have a table of raw data.

is a mutant rhodo-whatever a good thing?

I had one person on the last test I graded claim that if you mutated the ter sites responsible for coordinating termination of DNA replication in E. coli the replication forks would go past each other without stopping. The mind boggles.

A mutant rhodo-whatever is an excellent thing.
