Love it when an @OxfordBusCo bus leaves early instead of waiting until the scheduled departure time so your left waiting for 30 minutes for the next bus. This is where the bus was at 19:22 when it should have been where I am.

Excuse me sir... The scritches appear to have stopped. This must be a mistake.

@WarSpog It's the crystal structure of a DNA binding protein that I've generated the symmetry mates of to reconstruct what the crystal actually looks like.

Also, looking at this crystal structure makes me feel like the hyper drive has just been activated.

$540 worth of bases recovered from the pin graveyard.
Reduce. Reuse. Recycle. Reanimating bases from the broken pin graveyard today.

@Sci_Hans Not quite so bad anymore, $3 by the looks of it. Gotta be over 100 bases here though.

@serialstubbs @GntlmnScientist @DougInstruments Yeah, the user I helped with this used the mosquito to dispense 20 nl of the seeds. Harvested crystal clusters from 8 wells, crushed them with glass beads, then made 8 serial dilutions to be dispensed. I think it was the 100 and 1000 fold dilutions that worked best.

@GntlmnScientist No cat whiskers were harvested in the production of these crystals. Should my parents cat ever drop one while I'm around I'm definitely pocketing it though.

@GntlmnScientist Second option would be colour it black and you've got a Darth Vader helmet. Or possibly a Masked Rider if you want a 90s nostalgia hit.

@Samuel_Gregson @theory_dad I don't think there's anything that can't be imporved by adding in some Pedro Pascal. He even diffracts don't you know!
Pedro Pascal as protein crystals, Pedro crystals, and Pedro diffraction. A Thread.

@klausenhauser Not sure on the distinction, for this one I had to transfer a crystal from an old drop to a new one to get big atomic resolution diffracting crystals. Were you just streaking with a whisker without introducing another crystal from elsewhere?
