#current mood is: exhausted but cant sleep. maybe bc i have a lot to do this weekend#im literally going to get up in maybe and hr or 2 to go transfer algae bc i want to have that done#and at like 2.30 my pi is gonna train me on the confocal microscope which im like so excited abt#bc its like the confocal but i think we can do 100x and i domt have to pay to use it#so hopefully i can come in at night snd look at pretty algae. im so excited#we are tying to find and describe a new species of a specific cyano bc this guy has tried to rename the genus which is bullshit#by my pi helped describe the genus and hes just kinda an egotistical dick#so im wondering. if i got to describe a species. whuch i dont think the name will be up to me but fun thought experiment. what would i name#it? prob not after a person bc boring. id prob go with a fitting description#or something cute. like my pi named one where the name means: slime collar#bc its got this slime collar that looks like the dracula cape collar. which i think is cute#so id wanna do that. cute and clever#hopefully we find a new babby tho. ive gotta look up the description again so i can try to id vs other stuff#im just excited abt the microscope after doing so much confocal time. i should post more of those pics tbh#sigh... so much to do lab work wise...#i really really need to get writing. but also field work for 3 projects plus the lab work#which one is just redoing something ive done twice already which is gonna be agony but ya kno its gotta get done so rip me#plus im basically in charge of a class. which isnt too bad but im a control freak and its a lot to juggle i guess#plus i need to search for a phd project hopefully to find one by next spring semester#i think i need to find a evolutionary biologist who does some like hardcore biochem or genetics#but im afraid that line of work is competitive and full of ego bc here in ecology things are pretty chill#which is how i like it.... sigh... so much to do...#at least i love my algae babies#unrelated
