*sigh* *flop*
16 November 2004 17:47After a certain Elf decided to keep me up till nearly 3am, I've kept myself buoyant throughout the day by drinking coffee and eating sugar, and it seems to have worked reasonably well (except for the fact that I spent most of the Cells lecture doodling Elfsmut, but I managed to take lots of notes too, so I suppose that's OK.
Drosophila larvae, I maintain, were never designed to be dissected. Think about it.
They are about 2mm long. (The forceps you use look gigantic under the microscope.)
They are squidgy.
They wriggle.
Their guts squidge out everywhere.
Nonetheless, there I was, dissecting at least 10 of them. ( How to dissect a Drosophila larva. Possibly slightly gross. )
