Laughing at myself for thinking I could do a qRTPCR on 34 genes in one go! I forgot that I had multiple samples and their replicates. 😅 That’s what happens when you haven’t done a qRTPCR in years. Needless to say I will not be running 34 genes all at once!.

Every scientist should watch Meet the Robinsons. It has such a meaningful message about failure and how you have to just keep moving forward. Each failure is just a learning experience. Sometimes is hard to remember that.
