Defining moments of grad school (Part 4)

[nilaroda]

• April 26, 2007: Back in 2002, a collaborator of ours showed some data with some IL-1R knockout mice.  In 2004, I enter grad school, pick up a project in which half of the hypothesis hinges on that data.  In 2005, I want to reproduce that data.  I order mice from Jackson, spend time breeding them, and spend time breeding them to some other knockouts

You didn't repeat the experiment earlier because the whole point of the experiment being published is that you shouldn't need to do it again.

That said, SUCK. Poor Adora.
