A Lab Notebook

 
Fv/Fm, S. costatum
Fv/Fm = 0.486
Fm = 1152.8

The culture had a collection of cells resting on the bottom of the flask. Hopefully, I can get an image from the microsope of my S. costatum cells up onto the site before the day is over. Also, I am working on some modeling which I don't feel like recording in the public domain until I gain a bit more progress. Plus Falko asked me to give a presentation at our twice monthly lab meeting next week... we'll see how that goes. Hopefully I can present some of the modeling work I am currently working on.
I checked out the Banff International Film festival last night. Of course this motivated me to run a bit this morning (recieving my new ipod shuffle in the mail last night also helped). I ran the outer loop of Central Park Drive (6.019 miles) plus about 0.3 miles from Zibba's place to the park, this morning. Air temp was 16F when I started with wind chill putting the temp near 5F. Crystal clear andvery few people with some of the orange gates still up in the park. The ipod shuffle worked like a champ. I went moderate on the loop doing an extra bit to round up to 10k distance in 46 minutes. I ran the last half of the loop with an economics prof. (Andrew Atkeson) from UCLA who was in NYC giving talk at Columbia. Apparently he runs on a master's cross country team in LA and ran cross at Yale back in the day. I enjoyed talking while listening to my ipod shuffle in the other ear. The moderate pace of the run seemed to loosen up my muscles and reduce the pain I have been having in my left patella quite a bit.
