Note to self: Always double check things

A new enchilada

A revised enchilada

Revising environmental data

A spoiled enchilada

The whole enchilada (but better this time)

Reproducibility rodeo

I am Jerry Gergich

Visualizing bismark outputs

The whole enchilada

What are those?!

The meme has evolved

CCC: Carbonate Chemistry Calculations

M&M: methylKit and MACAU

Having pH in mV makes no sense

The end of a pipeline test

When the stars (and sequences) align

Preparing a genome (and my brain)

Quality: controlled

Yaamini vs. Computers

Time to analyze the C. virginica data

I have water chemistry data!

Things to do if I had infinite research money

April showers = More writing hours

The curious case of the catalase(s)

Do I have a story for my larval data?

Another classification revision

GLMs are neat

I think I understand classification better now

[Insert something witty about March Madness]

This series has (finally) come to an end

Digital drawing board: Round 2

My better figure wasn’t actually good

I created a better figure!

Tying up (more) loose ends

i.e. My grand return to RStudio

The many paths to school

Taught sixth grade science today!

Tryna make the most out of this short month

Rinse and repeat

Dynabeads are dynamite

A fulfilling day of labwork!

I pimped out my notebook!

All systems go on C. Virginica sequencing!

Histology is not an exact science

I guess break is over…

The growth data wasn’t very interesting

I see the light

Triple-nested for loops are not fun

a.k.a. How to take a break from proteomics

The last bit of data!

Yesterday’s meeting notes

Some more regressions

Connecting the dots

Following through on my plan

Quick journey into Manchester world

My final NMDS

Visualizing environmental and biomarker data

Column comparisons

More data, more problems…?

Some more information from Micah and Alex

Looked into ROC curves

I’ve got the power

Investigating those bad samples

All lab notebook links are now fixed

Science doesn’t take a day off

I have significant results?!

Everything at the peptide level

Squeezing every last bit of information out of my data

The end of a saga

a.k.a. An excuse to make mini apple pie cheesecakes

Better results?

Maybe I should have called this series “Troubleshooting”…

I finally have technical replication I kinda trust?!

Dead ends and new plans

Things DO get better! (Kind of)

Continuing the PRTC confusion

I tried doing something statistically impossible today

Step 1: R-squared Cutoffs

Are some transitions worse than others?

R&R: Review and Reproduce

We interrupt your regularly scheduled lab notebook perusing for some maintenance.

One script, infinite boxplots

Another Skyline saga

Retracing my steps

Everything sucks.

R Help is Helpful

All aboard the NMDS Struggle Bus

…Everybody Everywhere

Clean up, clean up

The end.

We have a Game Plan

The Final Countdown

They’re still not growing!

Checked the 80 micron screen again

Totes are pesky

Immersion heaters are pesky

Anoxia is no bueno

Smooth Saturday screening

Lots of maintenance today

My larvae are 60 microns now!

Counting larvae takes a while

A bit of a rough start today

I only have five goals

I’m the Mother of Oysters

Spoiler: We have baby oysters!

NO OYSTERS DIED!

It’s getting ugly

The mortalities continue

Revised for the last time

My prior calculations were incorrect!

Featuring reduced crosses and pools

Temperature is at 23 ºC!

If you don’t have a visualization, did you really analyze data?

My samples are DONE.

Last day of my samples!

Status quo?

Murphy’s Law is always relevant

The power is back!

Still plugging along

Power outage edition

More borrowed PRTC = All samples prepared

Our assay works!

It’s SRM assay time!

WE HAVE OUR TARGETS.

Those peaks are running interference

And the pH is low (again)

I have draft transitions!

Differential Expression + Protein Function = Targets?

The pH is kind of stable?

MSstats works!

June was rather slow

It’s time to think about crosses!

Revised (final?) Conditioning Plan

Sophie’s New Choice: Temperature, Flow or pH?

It’s been a slow burn

I was gifted 3,000 extra proteins

This time it only took 4 hours!

Remember that Skyline fail?

From Saturday 6/10 to Wednesday 7/5

Last day of DNR extractions (hopefully)!

Time to fatten the oysters up!

It’s getting hot in here

Yaamini vs. CentriVap: The Sequel

(Almost) done with Spring Quarter already?!

I am now a faster pipetter

All this protein but I’m still not swole.

Here’s hoping this is the last round of DNR sample preparation!

I need to become a faster pipetter.

We have lots of protein!

How many times can you restart sample preparation?

Slice and dice

More cowbell? More samples.

The DIA pipeline has been quite a #strugglebus

It’s always good to practice your methods of torture.

Who wants to manually quality check peptides?!

Record scratch. Freeze frame.

Who are the lucky winners?

It’s time to extract more protein.

I can now analyze my full .blib!

It’s already MAY.

Skyline works with our demultiplexed files!

It’s not as easy as clicking a button

Laura went out to Manchester today and graciously cleaned my oysters

I became well-aquainted NCBI SRA database today

I’m going to get stuff done for Pubathon (I promise)!

My files are done converting!

Another new MSConvert CLI

New MSConvert CLI, hot off the presses

Demultiplexing is perplexing

OA System Breakdown

We’re done with our OA experiment!

I was so busy catching up on classes I forgot it was April!

What happened when Laura got stranded in the Midwest

I’m at NSA, to Grace and Olivia went to Manchester.

Here’s the evolution of my poster for NSA!

Checking in before we leave for NSA

On that number-crunching grind

We have data!!!

A couple hiccups at Manchester today

It works!

Yesterday I set up a system for cataloging our water chemistry data.

Reformatting PECAN inputs

New day, same errors

We’re officially halfway through our pH treatment window!

To reconvert or not reconvert?

Hit an obstacle with PECAN this weekend.

Another smooth day at Manchester!

:cake: It’s not as easy as pie :cake:

March Maddness is upon us.

Today, I spent 3 hours cleaning oyster :poop:

The OA System is up and running!

February Goals Update

Conducted my first outreach activity today!

First Manchester Sampling

February Goals

…But now trouble is gone!

…And trouble stuck around at 3:51 p.m. on January 29.

Trouble struck at 8:16 p.m. on January 28.

My samples are on the Mass Spec!

Mass Spectrometer Set-up

M/Z ratios: Mass hysteria ensues

PRTC: We know what those peptides can be

Not Salty about Desalting

Speed Vacuum = Slow Process

Trippin for Trypsin

If at first you don’t succeed, trial trial again.

Practice makes perfect?

Gill Tissue + Sound Waves = Protein Soup

My first day in lab was a busy one!

My DNR project is still on the brain!.

Now that it’s almost November, it’s time to get cracking on the DNR project.

As promised, here is some background on my current project

Hello!
