Last Friday was very exciting. I saw a <thing I'd been looking for> in my data and now we have at least two drug targets to do follow-up work on. Now I'm entering the realm of staining with antibodies and I'm learning just how few good antibodies there are compared to how many proteins I find interesting. After a day of investigation, I met with a guy to discuss plans for a new project. He sat me down with another member in his lab and then they both explained a rather in-depth project... that was 15 days until show-time... that another post-doc in the lab had begun with them... before leaving for a new position... and had apparently been talking about me doing the work for... Neither I nor my PI had heard anything about this before, so I'm not sure what's exactly going to be happening there.
