This is the hawk I saw today. The second pic is blurry because it flew away, but the blur it left behind looks really interesting, like it is a cartoon bird or something.

There is a FB group I joined like this bc its name is “call for co-authorship” and I thought it was a group for finding possible collaborations. It is not. It is probably all scams, but some people on there are trying.

I hope their antibodies are better than their legos. The design is very flimsy, but I enjoyed the challenge.

Update, I grabbed 10 colonies and combined into one @plasmidsaurus.bsky.social reaction. All of them were too small and most were the same, the TE inserted in the same place. So screening colonies won't likely work.

I tried to "squeeze gel purify" DNA, sent it for sequencing, and it worked! ~Protocol: 1) cut out band 2) poke hold in small tube, put gel in it, put in big tube 3) Spin for 2-3 seconds 4) sequence the liquid in the bottom tube This may not always work, but cool! @plasmidsaurus.bsky.social

I did something very similar lest month, but w gentamycin and CAM. Way easier/cheaper than PCR screening. Too bad I couldn’t do that for any other edits.
