That means that I'm having to squeeze 14 assays into the next fortnight; I hope I can do it, because I have a deadline to meet!
Hoping I don't go too insane from it! 😅

That’s absolutely horrifying! 😱 Wishing you good luck from here on out. You’ll make it, Insanipi!
An anecdote from my own Honours project: Spoiler I was about 2/3 of the way through the year and had just made my first real model for my project... only for my supervisor to notice that we’d forgotten to cater for one for the big assumptions we said we’d cater for, so they’d taught me the wrong method and my entire first model was incorrect. I was mortified; that was a month’s worth of work down the drain! Fortunately I was able to create the correct model from scratch with some help from my supervisor and managed to recover the work the following week.

So. I had more bad things happen to my labwork in the past fortnight, so I'm still doing lab work. But! I'm working it out time-wise so that I'm also doing the bulk of my thesis before my last experiments have had their run! (See also: my thesis writing thread in Accountability and Motivation)
Despite the setbacks (and the breakdown earlier last week), I'm due to plate the last of my experiments tomorrow (to transfect on Tuesday), ready for analysis on the flow cytometer on Friday 5 November!
This year has been a pain, but it's taught me many important lessons too.

Howdy!
Been a while since I last updated, but today's my presentation and viva day (I'm up in about 20 mins) and I'm super nervous.
That's all for now ahhhhhh <3
