Study Holidays! :O

Hello! Wish you good time with loads of smile :) :)

This is a personal post. I can say a page of my diary. You can find my way of learning, my preparations for my semester exam.

I'm in the end of my study holidays! The pleasant days, lazy days. My exams were scheduled initially on 8th may, I started studying on 4th may. I started studying "Unit Operations - Mixing and Agitation" at a speed of about 10,000 rpm :P

But, this university people, I think they were burning at their stomach, seeing me studying. Yes, they postponed the exam to 15th may. Then, who will study after that? I closed the book, started writing story :) :)

Now, the story is going good, but my studies? :( :( very worst :(  Only finished a unit in Unit operations :(
After that didn't touch the books at all. :(

What I do during study holidays?


1) Reading everything, except text book. :D
2) Eating snacks for every half an hour :D :P
3) Sleeping 10p.m to 10a.m
4) Went to exhibition two times :)
5) Writing stories, poems :)

But, Kanmani never worries :) She can manage! :) And, she can score good grade. But how?

My way of learning:

I never read during my study holidays (like most of the students do) But, I manage to score good grades. :)
My friends use to ask me, "Hey Kannu (that's how they call me) you are always online, writing stories, poems, blog posts, but, how you score good?"

The answer is:

1) I enjoy learning
2) I listen to all the lectures with high concentration.
3) I use to prepare for my internal exams. So, just a recall is enough before the exam day.

Study Holidays!
If you wanna score high, don't read like hell. Follow simple steps.

1) Develop interest with your subject (Never develop a bad feeling with your lecturer)
2) Try to lend your ears to your lecturers. Take notes of the lectures ( this will help you a lot, because, you are listening and putting what you understood in simple words)
3) Be cool, never worry about the exam, never prepare for exam sake, while you are reading feel that your reading for gaining knowledge.

Visualize:
Try to visualize. For eg: If your learning about movement of bacteria, imagine a bacteria, imagine as if it's moving in your hands, like it's using its flagella.
This will never get out of your mind, imagine with color, the color will never go out from your mind.

:D :D I shared this imagining as if I'm an expert in education. :P Anyways, you try this techniques. This works well for me. If you feel this as a worst technique :) kindly, don't scold me :)

Bye...! All the best for your exams!

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...
