You know what I really want to be able to do right now?  Get into my lab, make some cells and test them.  But I can't.  Because the Health and Safety people still aren't letting us back in, and it's really frustating when I've only got 2 weeks left.  I'm probably going to work at least a bit on the weekends just so I can do everything I really want ( Read more... )
