Sergeant Major Molecular

This week is research bootcamp for the kiddies. In fifteen minutes I'll have about 20 minions and no discernible plan. Teach them autoclave safety, the theories behind f-stops/chemiluminesence/CCD cameras, polyacrylamide gels and ordering (among dozens of other subjects). A full week schedule with some help from other staff and faculty.

Hopefully this week of intensive training on appropriate scientific protocols and general lab politeness will help defray some of the annoyances I'm sure will pop up in the next two months.
