SGI SUMMIT AND BABIES
Last weekend, I went to a conference (SGI summit) which (conviniently) was organized in Brisbane this year. (Last year I think it was in San Fransisco!). Good or bad luck? I don't know. But I had a poster presentation for my second conference. And afterwards, my lab got invited for lab dinner, which we hadn't registered for and which cost 125AUD per person. We must have been a charming bunch of people as the 9 of us got it all for free!

Secont. You might have noticed that I haven't been writing much (again). But this time, I have something to blame. Many, small, pink, naked pups which now have reached a number of 70+.
I have got babies!
The top ones are 2 days old and the bottom ones are 7 days old. A bit of colour change going on there but they are so adorable! However, 7 rats have an average of 15 babies each and another 8 have just got pregnant. Imagine, if all of those pups need to be weighed once daily, in addition to making diets etc etc. That takes a bit of time...
At the moment, I love them too much to care though. But I know that once the other 8 litter down, my life is gonna turn in to even less of a lie. How now this could be possible!

My confirmation date has been set as well. Only have a few weeks left till I have to go through the first and most important milestone of an australian PhD. Huh Im nervous! Trying not to think too much about it just yet. And I know I keep saying it. After that. My life should be a little bit less hectic. However I have said this for as long as I can remember so I don't trust myself anymore!
