New rule for confocal microscopy

So disappointing! How could this happen that STUDENTS don't have the right to use confocal microscopy by day. Maybe Chih-Yung is right. To be a student, the first thing is always to get the degree as soon as possible. But I can't agree with Jason's point that the more salary you take, the more job you have to do, so more is not better. I think the salary stands for the importance and the quantity of your work. One should fight for his own status. Another thing, table-tennis is just a hobby of my life, although I try to play it better and better, try to win the games, and try to learn some doctrine of my personality. Undoubtedly the urgent affair is my doctor's degree. Keep studying as I drew. Action speaks louder than words!

如何製造基因轉殖果蠅？

所謂的基因轉殖果蠅，是指某一種果蠅品系，他的genome裡面就帶有外來的基因，非果蠅自己原本就有的。像是GAL4/UAS binary expression system裡的GAL4 lines, UAS lines, LexA lines ...etc. (可以說…做實驗用的果蠅，絕大部分都是基因轉殖果蠅)

Ten-year

Ten years passed, I am not regretted what I have done, although it always could be better, to be better than what I was. Consolidation is the most noteworthy ability that I lack now. Communication skills is the second one, including listening and talking used to ameliorate relationship with people. Stay with self-cultivation!
