Crocs shoes - has the world gone mad?
J

They look like they type of shoes a garden gnome would wear, therefore they are wrong.

Am I being over reacting?

I bumped into someone who works with my supervisor the other day and he was telling me about some lab work he will be doing. He then said that he would be using my isolates that I have collected and identified as part of my PhD. Neither of my supervisors have asked me about this or even mentioned this to me. I didn't say anything though because I was suprised about it.

Having since though about it I'm a bit upset that they didn't ask me. I know they are my supervisors but it would be nice to have been consulted. Also I am wondering what will happen if he gets a publication out of it and if I will get credit for having isolated and identified them. I don't know what to do. Am I making a mountain out of mole hill?

I have to write a 100 word summary of my research interests for a course I am going on. I'm not sure how to write it. Am I allowed to refer to myself in it? e.g. use I and my etc.

I have this really embarassing/sad habit of singing that crap james blunt song called beautiful at things when something goes well (e.g. when I get good PCR bands or when my cells look really nice). This weekend I was alone in the lab singing your beautiful to my pulsed field gel. I think i need help!
