Goofs

Everyone

• Plated our transformations onto the wrong antibiotics
• Agar snots

Fran

• Coughed on one of our plates that we had transformed after a ligation to see if she had a throat infection. We (Beth) got excited when something grew as we thought maybe this one ligation had worked. It had not. Not to mention, we took three liquid cultures from "Fran's cough". Three.

Beth

• Dropped a beaker whilst washing it and smashed it

Rachel

• Dropped all the petri dishes. Twice.
• Boiled over the agar in the microwave.
• Stabbed through the plastic of an agar plate with her fingers.
• Boiled over the agar in the microwave again.

Flick

• Left columns in at end of miniprep and left out on a 30°C bench so all the stuff in the column was released into our plasmid solution

Adam

• Plated onto wrong antibiotic plates, killed all the bacteria
• Put stuff in fridge to incubate at 37°C
• That ethidium bromide incident we don't talk about

Josh

• Broke the spring in the oscillating incubator. Twice.

Tom

• Confused KAN and CAM.... alot
• Some very odd labelling...
