I love my lab, I love my lab

So my PI has been canceling lab meeting for the past weeks. I have basically not presented for almost 2 months. :O Then all the sudden just like 3 days ago he decided that we will have lab meeting on Tuesday after all. Now I have to put my lab presentation all together in a matter of seconds and make sure I find something I can publish on Nature so that the lab will not bite my head off.
It can't be anything I do not comprehend, nothing I messed up on, no mysterious dissapearances, it has to be ready to publish on Nature.

I love my lab, I love my lab,
I love my lab, I love my lab,
I love my lab, I love my lab,
I love my lab, I love my lab,
I love my lab, I love my lab.

Yeah, I wonder how many times I have to repeat that for it to happen.

Switching gears now...
I was studying for quals last night by reading about viral Assembly and then I found out that the Nuclear capsid is involved in almost everything. It is involved in entry, in reverse trancription, in integration, in transcription, and in exit. I got this idea for Garry's project. I emailed it to him and then new Post Doc leader, Linda. When I tried to discuss the idea with Garry he said, "Oh we tried that idea out 4 years ago."
Garry is sooooo sweet. Sarcastic sigh..
Then I explained to him how my idea is actually different from the one he had before and he admitted that my idea was an interesting one.
Now if I can just come up with ideas for MY project everything will work out great.

I love my lab, I love my lab,
I love my lab, I love my lab,
I love my lab, I love my lab,
I love my lab, I love my lab,
I love my lab, I love my lab.
