Update, I grabbed 10 colonies and combined into one

reaction. All of them were too small and most were the same, the TE inserted in the same place. So screening colonies won't likely work.

I tried to "squeeze gel purify" DNA, sent it for sequencing, and it worked! ~Protocol: 1) cut out band 2) poke hold in small tube, put gel in it, put in big tube 3) Spin for 2-3 seconds 4) sequence the liquid in the bottom tube This may not always work, but cool!

If you want your research to sound “basic”, call it “basic research”. - I don’t think the general public will think it is very important. I like “fundamental science” better. Today I saw “frontier science”, which sounds cooler and more important.

A paper in Nature Communication reports on a new method to produce strong, biodegradable plastic from bamboo. The bioplastic resembles oil-based plastics in strength, shapeability, and thermal stability but can biodegrade in soil within 50 days.
