Casual Friday

Today was a really fun day at work. I did what are called minipreps and they took me a long time but I'm pretty sure I did them right! I got to use this thing cool thing called a nanodrop which measure the amount of DNA in each sample tube. After I had finished my minipreps my supervisor told me about a speaker coming to the atrium to talk about her art. Every couple months at CST (Cell Signaling Technologies) there  is a new artist who comes in and displays some of his or her work. Generally CST will buy a couple of the pieces and hang them up around the hallways and work areas. I was excited to take a break from work and go listen to the person talk. The most exciting part was that when we got there, there was free food! My supervisor and the small group I was with told me our plan was to go in a grab some food and eat it as quickly as possible so we could leave and not have to listen to the speaker. I though this was funny because it reminded me of something I would do. After grabbing from the array of cheeses and other foods up at the front table, we brought our food into a different section of the plant covered atrium until it was time for me to go home.
