Month 1

Cell bio is driving me insane. We're covering stuff on protein transport and we're supposed to read these three papers for discussion, along with answering questions. The problem I'm having is that I understand the gist of the papers, but the questions that we're supposed to answer ask for basically "what were the authors thinking when they did this?" And being papers from Nature, data was usually "not shown," or "in the supplementary material"

I guess another problem is that I write down what I think is the right answer to the question, that nagging "what if this happened" scenario pops up, and then I have to change it.

Or maybe I'm just having an "off" day.

...and I'm gonna go study genetics now.
