How to start a Project?

Hi,
I was thinking deeply, that how to spend my semester holidays. Got an idea of doing a mini project in my department. Let me explain you how to start with a project or how i did start. Here we go...

Step 1:
Choose or find out your area of interest. I mean the subject your interested or your favourite subject.
You may wonder, how do i know, I hate all the subjects! But, don't worry.
Choose the subject you feel more easy than others.

Step 2:
Read research papers online related to your area of interest. Just google and read random stuffs, you will get an idea. There are many research papers available online ( You can try online magazines for latest research trends)

Step 3:
While you were reading, something might have interested you. Read much about that topic. Try to think differently, and frame your own project.

Note:
The above steps would suit perfect if you are a Biotechnology student.

If you find it difficult to start a brand new project, just try to continue the projects which were already done.

Plant Tissue culture in Test tube

I started reading many research papers, but, I found difficult to frame a new project. So, I consulted my professors and now continuing the project of one of seniors. The project is regarding "Pant Tissue Culture".

I'm getting addicted to laboratory nowadays. Working in the laboratory makes me happy! :) :) :D

Now, I'm in my college Computer center :) I came to centre after soaking all the bottles of Plant tissue culture lab in soap solution for decontamination. Have to wait here and go back there, to decontaminate :) :P After decontamination, I'l start working with my professor from tomorrow :)

I got some basic info regarding the project I'm gonna continue. I got project report of my seniors for reading. Reading is lovely, when I'm reading for doing a project :) :P

Reading and discussing with the professor are awesome. I'm happy! :D :) :)
Bye! Bye! Gonna decontaminate the bottles :P :) :D
Wish you loads of smile and happiness :) Cheers!

Lowry Assay Principle and procedure

Though there are several protein assays available, the most preferred one in many laboratories is "Lowry assay". It is effective in the concentration range of 0.01 mg/ml to 1 mg/ml. And, as an additional info, the paper published describing the procedure and principle of Lowry Assay is the most cited paper in the scientific history. (Feeling like, "Wow! I want to publish one to compete with Oliver.H. Lowry"??? :P) Why Lowry? Though there are several other protein assays, mostly Lowry assay is used in many laboratories. The reasons for preferring Lowry are: sensitivity of the assay, highly reproducible, cost effective, easy to perform. Biuret assay is generally used for higher protein concentrations like tissue samples but, Lowry for less concentrated samples and hence used in most of the molecular biology laboratories where there will be need for assaying comparatively less concentrated protein samples (in most cases where we attempt to produce enzymes).

Sea Butterfly!

Neih hou! Don't roll you eyes wondering what it is! "Neih hou" is how you say "hello" in Cantonese. Guess what, I am in Hong Kong and therefore the language Cantonese. I came to Hong Kong this summer as an intern before officially joining as a PhD Student. This is my second experience abroad, far away from home, new language, new culture, I expected me to have a "really" bad cultural shock, but, actually I experienced only 50% of what I expected. For a girl who have used the marina beach only for eating "sundal", bikini in beach was a shock (FEEL FREE TO JUDGE ME!). The first time, I went to the big wave beach here, I was the only one who was totally covered, when everyone was enjoying their Beer, I was slowly sipping my lemon juice (THE ODD ONE OUT!). I realized how beautifully different the world outside is! There is no single standard for right or wrong, it varies in different countries, in different regions around the world. And it ...

Fire in the lab!!! BE CAREFUL!!!! A Lesson learnt!

That day, we were working in our lab under laminar air flow chamber. we were streaking our plates with E.coli. For sterilizing the loop, we were using 70% ethanol. We also sterilized the L rod which we used for spreading , using the same Ethanol. One by one, we started streaking and spreading. I completed my turn, and sterilized the L rod by dipping in ethanol once and shown in flame, and placed it in a tray.Mam instructed, " Ethanol will catch fire , if you place the hot rod over it" . One of my friend, did spreading after my turn, she too dipped the rod in ethanol, flamed the rod and instead of placing in the tray she misplaced the hot rod in the ethanol plate!!!! " oooo... fire fire..." immediately ethanol caught fire..!!! My friend who misplaced., she started crying... Mam shouted, " hey girls, guys run out of the lab...," as the tube which carries LPG for the flame was very close to fire. Suddenly, our lab technician acte...
