We got frustrated with using FB to communicate with each other. If you want to learn about our lab go to:

There is a list of references that I need pdfs of on the white board - the library web site was crashing yesterday so I couldn't get them. Also there is one book that may be over in the library. If not please request it via interlibrary loan.
Thanks!

FB is about to change everything again! I am afraid that FB is becoming less and less useful as a communication tool for our group. Keep a lookout for some kind of alternative. We can still have our FB page and use it to post pictures but we need some place to keep running lists of things to do where FB won't keep messing with the order of items or decide to stuff our communications into a corner or delete pages that they don't think are interesting.

I need the following references downloaded (in pdf format) and sent to me in an e-mail. Use the web of science to get them.

I am wondering if we should get a wire saw. They are expensive, but maybe we can find on second hand. Here is a link to a new one. http://www.emsdiasum.com/microscopy/products/materials/wire_saws.aspx
Someone see what you can find.

Wire Saw offers the most gentle mechanical method for cutting virtually any material using either a diamond impregnated wire blade or a plain wire blade with an abrasive slurry

Let's buy a small amount of the kevlar tissue (see SMT's post below) so we can experiment with it.
