Because Prof. Goodman wasn't there on Saturday ...

Because Prof. Goodman wasn't in the lab on Saturday, I stole 3 liters of double-distilled water home to cook Pu-erh tea and tasted LB medium. When I complained that the Pu-erh tea I cooked tasted awful, Mom suggested me to change the water, because water in Wisconsin is too hard. Double-distilled water did improve the taste significantly! LB medium tasted weird, but not as bad as I thought. It's a bit salty and tasted like protein. I could imagine that bacteria love it.

The E. coli plate I spread by myself; grown after 24 hours.

A shaker-incubator. Prof. Goodman said bacteria need to be shaken all the time to get enough oxygen. Why they no get dizzy?
I set up a schedule to pick up 6 liquid cultures that would have been induced for different times. Unfortunately, this shaker machine broke (because it was too old and some rubber in it broke) when I was collecting the 12-hour culture. I had to start my experiment all over again next time because I couldn't keep the experimental conditions identical for all 6 cultures. I need some luck for my experiment.
I can still use some of the cells for another experiment. I will determine how many fractions we need to collect from the gravity flow column to obtain the most protein tomorrow.
