<p>lol it's pretty epic. i wanted to do igem but now it seems like im too n00bish for it. but there are other ways to pursue theoretical biology lolz. </p>
<p>we contaminated our LB broth, mixed up our miniprep DNA with our PCR DNA, and punctured our agar solution with our cell spreader. Our bacteria barely grew and didn't get to express our RFP proteins. So then we had to use CFP proteins for the next lab. From our last lab, we <em>somehow</em> threw out our PI-ligation mixture, so then we had to borrow another group's PCR DNA and then <em>somehow</em> threw out that group's PCR DNA, so we couldn't use it for the gel electrophoresis. >.< Then for the gel electrophoresis lab, we had to borrow another group's ladder and then somehow accidentally titrated part of that group's ladder into ANOTHER 0.5 mL tube, leaving us with less ladder for our gel electrophoresis. and now we only could measure 3 (of 6) gel electrophoresis products. Then we forgot to put in our loading dye into one of those products, so it was barely visible under UV light, but at least we learned how many kb long it was. </p>
<p>and now our prof and ta have advised both of us to drop the course. we'll continue but lol, it's quite a chaotic scene lol.</p>
<p>at least we have rule 16 on our side:</p>
<p>16.If you fail in epic proportions, it may just become a winning failure.</p>
