Something Came As A Shock Today in The Proteomics Lab!!!

Dr. Gam dropped by the lab today to check on us TWICE in a juz a day. Surprise surprise for me. The other students, my seniors I mean, seemed unfazed however by her presence cuz they've been betting on her surprise visit to the lab today since last week. They seem to have gotten used to her sudden, planning-to-catch-you-offguard visits. After all, they've been here for at least 1/2 year. They should be able to read Dr. Gam's mind by now. lol. The first time she came in, she wanted me to work on the protein identification of non-halal sausages(pork of corse, need I mention it that clearly here? :p). However, she then backed out and said she needed some time think it over so she asked me to continue with my plant protein extraction. Then, in the afternoon, she stopped by and asked my senior, Hui Hua to brief her on the normal and cancerous breast tissues protein analysis results. When she was done with Hui Hua, she turned to me and came up with a very challenging(to me this new project is definitely beyond comprehension) idea. I'll have to pack a hydroxyapatite column, run TLB extract thru the gel, check with the 1D electrophoresis, and compare the results with Hui Hua's and Lay Chin's. Basically, I'll have to develop a new, improved method to entrap(more like adsorbing) the hydrophobic proteins in the gel and then elute it with a suitable type of buffer which is yet to be determined. I'm not gonna be able to tell everythg here as I have to flip thru tons of journals tonite. My seniors told me I'd better not be ill-prepared as Dr. Gam would always ask what homework you have done the night before and you will have to discuss with her on how you plan to start your work. They know her better than I do, I mean the other half of her if you know what I mean. NO DOUBT tomorrow is the D-Day and I'd better work my ass off or I'll get my ass kicked out of the school. lol.
