I have a committee meeting tomorrow. I've pretty sick most of the week, sore throat (thankfully over), runny nose, etc. Needless to say that I'm still working on my presentation. I show one of the figures to my advisor, because it doesn't make any sense to me, and his response is "Oh. that's weird. Maybe this isn't a good species to use then". ( Read more... )

Could someone poke me via AIM tomorrow to do my homework? It's due on Monday, but I have a whole bunch of other lab/school/work things to do, and keep forgetting about it.
