[QUOTE]Originally posted by The Ginger Beacon: [QB] [QUOTE] (from Dan Butler) Ginger: We did a lab sort of like that. But it was really, really boring...the lame TA didn't explain anything or how it worked, it was basically just following instructions on pipetting, cooling, and incubating tubes of fluids and then culturing them. It was a demonstration using E. coli, I think, and plasmids for resisting a certain type of antibiotic. Spent 40 minutes sitting around and doing *nothing* at one point as the TA had no other experiment for us to do in the meanwhile... [/QB][/QUOTE]Nah, I did that in my 1st year. The project was more about prion propogation, like in CJD. Tedious, but it had its playing god moments. Also, there was a chemistry professor in the first year who reminded the whole class of Mr Toad (big, very round, sweats alot, stench you could smell several hundred yards, thinning white hair in a sort of middle-ages style, and a round warty face with little round glasses. Always wore a grey suit, and once pretended to have a girlfriend - a lie so transparent he had none of us fooled). For some reason we tried to slip "motor car" and "washer woman" into other wise innocuous statements. One thought that pops into my head about the NX-01 taking all that punishement and still functional with few deaths compared to later ships is the size of the NX-01. The size to crew ratio was very low compared to the later ships, so maybe there were large areas of, not wasted space, but stuff that was not habitable, or essential to the sips structure.
