Everyone is just waiting [for spectrin constructs from Philadelphia].”— Theodor Seuss Geisel
You may remember my post about pulling experiments on the cytoskeletal protein spectrin and if you were crazy enough to read to the end you may have noticed that I talked about collaborating with Matthias Rief on the project. Well, I’ve been in Munich since Sunday and I’m sad to say that samples still haven’t arrived. So Michael Schlierf (my partner in crime) and I have yet to do any real experiments and I feel like my short time is quickly slipping away.
On the plus side, I’ve been doing some analysis of some fluorescence data that I collected in Yale’s lab just before I left and working with ImageJ is great for my complexion:
