I spent three hours today standing in a room that had the heat off (despite it being a cold day) and I did cross-sections for three hours. Various types of algae, all cross-sectioned and attempting to figure out what I was looking at. Yeah, that’s how I spent the full three hours of my biology lab today. And you know what? It was fun<\/em>. It was fun and cool and even though the attempting to stain the starch cells didn’t work the way that I wanted it to work out (because dark green \u2260 dark blue or black), it was fun. It was sort of exciting to get a difficult cross section to work out at only 1 cell layer thick. It was exciting to get the cross section on the first try, it was fun to watch dinoflagellates rotating around and moving about.<\/p>\n

It was fun<\/em>. I have a whole new appreciation for phase contract on compound microscopes now. Because there’s kind of something amazing about seeing the tiniest thing ever that looks like a star and it’s just moving around and spinning around.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
