Lab Note #4 Second experiment

 Lab Note #4 Second experiment 

Since the previous result was not clear and cells did not get reduced as much as I thought, I decided to the second experiment by putting an increased concentration of PLA2 and 5FU on colorectal cells. 

Method:

1. I took plates with cells(WIDR and HCT15) out of a culture medium.

2. I got rid of liquid media using a suction machine. 

3. I put 500ul of TE buffer so that cells on the bottom of the plates float. After I put them on the centrifuge I waited for 5 minutes. (If the cells are on TE buffer too long, cells can die.) 

4. After 5 minutes, I slightly shook the plate with TE buffer and cells so that the cells are detached from the bottom of the plates. 

5. I put them on two 1.5ml tubes.

6. I put the tubes on a centrifuge that spin in a speed of 7500 rpm for 2 minutes. Then I can saw cells on the bottom of the tube separated from TE buffer. 

7. I sucked TE buffer carefully so that the cells don't get sucked up together. 

8. I put 200ul of RPMI and did a pipetting so that cells are mixed with RPMI evenly

9. I put RPMI + cells on 15ml tube (I made the liquid flow on the wall)

10. With a big pipette, I put 7 ml of RPMI and shook it up and down slightly.

11. I put 500ul of solution on a 24 wells plate. 

12. On the same 24 wells plate, I put PLA2 and 5FU according to the following concentration.

I got minus half-lives, which proves that I could not get the result I wanted. 

So I decided to do the another experiment.

Why you should...

Speech 2 Prompt: Why you should.... Come up with a title using the above, and state it at the beginning of your speech. Keep in mind that this is basically open topic, and can be either a warning against something or a positive piece of advice. I suggested KMLA, but you mostly voted to make it open. My advice: Write it out completely and follow a Journey/Character Arc and segment it into a Memory Palace with CLEARLY defined segments. Requirments: You must use ONE MEANGINGFUL PAUSE in your speech. I will demonstrate this. You must make use of at least one segment of DIALOGUE.0  You must use the expression - "For the love of god" one time. 0 You must use REPETITION at least once. Ex: "Maybe it was because the weather was rainy. Maybe it was because my shoes were wet. Maybe it was because my umbrella was broken. But clearly, the weather made my mood only worse, so I screamed at my brother." 0  Have fun, don't be afraid to read from a paper if you aren't fully c...

To God.

  To God. God, I decided not to trust you anymore. I feel like you are merely an illusion now. I feel like ‘full faith on you’ that people talk about is a result of self-brainwashing. When I confessed this to mom, a committed Christian, she seemed to be very angry. Maybe, she felt like I was telling her like this. ‘congratulations! You succeeded brainwashing yourself into believing that a fake is a real!’ Of course, I didn’t mean it, but everyone whom I confessed this reacted similarly. In fact, there was a person who showed a different reaction from others. My friend, B, told me that a faith is not what I can have just because I want it, but what you present to people who crave for it and all I can do now is to pray for that faith. But I can’t believe it either. What is faith exactly? Isn’t it just a result of giving up having a question on your existence and hypnotizing myself that you are a real? I can’t even believe that millions of people who don’t be...

Now I know.

 A grim-faced girl who is waving her hands violently to get a taxi on streets. Her red face was soaked with tears continuously falling down. Because she couldn't breathe properly, she had to keep making weird noise trying to breathe. Everybody passing her by was glancing at her wondering what is wrong with her. Some of them might have wondered whether they should help her, but they could not get close to her easily because she seemed to be out of mind. She seemed literally crazy.   This was how I looked when I heard that dad collapsed and was rushed to the emergency room from mom on the phone. Because she told me that I should keep it secret from my little sister, I had to suppress my surprise in house and burst into tears on streets, getting taxi to go to a hospital dad's in.   "God, please secure him."   In a taxi, I kept praying to god wishing him to be safe. I wished it was a slight sickness.   "Mom! Is he okay? Can I see him?"  I as...
