Just because something's inexplicted doesn't mean it's inexplicable.

Well last week was interesting. I finally got a batch of protein to grow properly, only to find out that a colleague has a huge stash of the stuff I can use. Tossed the tube in the freezer; someone will use it eventually. I discovered that I can make stable arsenic-bound MT relatively easily. This week, I’m repeating that experiment, trying silver, and rechecking some earlier results. I’ve also figured out a way to accurately pH adjust my samples without risking exposure to atmosphere.
