Please use this page to write about anything related to safety in your project.

Your Lab

Use this section to tell us about your laboratory. Where is it located? What sort of equipment do you use every day? Have you decorated it for the summer? How do you look wearing a lab coat? Take pictures! Show off your space!

[Put in an image of "W.M Keck laboratories" or whatever is on the front of the building]

Our lab is located on the 1st floor of W. M. Keck Laboratories for Engineering and Applied Sciences. (Is that the official name of our building?) We have our own tabletop centrifuge and thermal cycler, as well as a 37°C incubator, a -20°C freezer, and a 4°C freezer. We share the -80°C freezer with the rest of the Richard Murray lab. Also, there's a giant whiteboard blocking our path in middle of the workspace that hopefully will be tacked up on the wall where it belongs sometime before the end of summer.

Our lab space looks like an abandoned construction site! [Put in an image of the lab before renovations]
____ looks like (s)he's having so much fun in the lab! [Put in an image of ____ setting up like 60 TXTL reactions or something]
Oh no, the boxes!!! [Put in an image of boxes in the dumpster]
The autoclave likes to hiss and make threatening noises at us as we work [Put in an image of autoclave running]
