Anyway, I'm back in college now. Vacation's almost over, which means it's time to get back to the lab. I'm working with a different group this term. This group works on plants. Mostly potato and tobacco, but they're also starting work on the touch-me-not plant. It's suspected that touch-me-not uses many of the same signal molecules as our nerves, which is very cool.
However, until we get to the studying what works how and where, there's a lot of groundwork to be done. For one thing, not many people work on the touch-me-not, so we need to come up with standard, repeatable ways to study everything we study. Otherwise there's no way anybody can verify what we find out. I'll keep you posted as things keep moving.
The weather in Pune is beautiful right now. The roads are wet and muddy, but that's another story. I can see hills outside my window, and they're all covered by a thick carpet of green grass.
It's a good time to be back.
And this is something I found online (sorry, physicists!)
