THE NEXT INSTALLMENT OF BIOLOGY OF MYOCBACTERIA GRC WILL BE IN 2028, NOT 2027. Exact date and location TBD. Sorry about the long wait, but we think it is better long term. PLEASE repost/tell your friends!

Also: proofread carefully!
When I was first hiring a tech for my lab, one CV said that the applicant specialized in "shooting equipment". I presume they meant "troubleshooting equipment" but I felt I couldn't take that chance.

Some of the earliest photos from the lab...
John (left) tries to get his lab to place the field emission gun on top of the column of the lab's new Tecnai F20 microscope (circa 2007). PhD student Wilson Lau (now Associate Prof, Hong Kong Polytechnic University), lab manager Stephanie Bueler (still managing the lab), and PhD student Lindsay Baker (now Associate Prof, Oxford University) make a valiant effort. The lab decides that John should try it himself... Lindsay Baker (while an undergraduate summer student), John, and Stephanie pose in front of the Hospital's moose, summer 2006.
