hey v, take it easy girl. conferences should be almost like holidays
emma
well, at least there is nice tea here.
and... what conferences do you go to where it is almost a holiday? mine are always like being back at uni... the notes, oh so many notes. this one has been coma inducing. but finally there is a session that i'll probably find interesting...
whitelaw
same kind. still, it's better than being in the lab imo
QIMR
but the lab is the fun part. all the dangerous, cancer inducing chemicals! machines that go ping!
i'm between gossip at the moment. two different labs don't seem to like each other - now who to believe.
australia
haha, machines that go ping!
the whole lab or just the pi's?

fun equipment is fun.
the "discussion" first started with the PI of lab A. I've been collaborating with lab B (i though they were very nice). anyway, lab A said the pi of lab B has a "reputation". and that lab A has set up a new whizz bang system for detecting stuff, and lab B hasn't mentioned it to me, because lab B has this "reputation". Anyway, i was talking with lab b, and asked, have you heard of guy from lab A? they laughed and said how he is all talk, can't design an experiment, and can't spin down cells without killing them. lab b had to design all these experiments for lab a, had to do all the work, and was asking for 3 years to see the data, but got no response. goes on to say how lab A used data from lab B in a publication without asking, or acknowledging - and would not work with them ever again.
now, i know lab B (and they have some issues, but are generally nice to me, and have helped me out with my really naive questions). lab A, i thought were a bit up themselves, and they looked at me like i was a bit, "special". still...

Hey guys- how are you all?
V- sounds like you're having fun times there- best to say nothing about any of them if asked?
