Preparation for a paper
All notes should be complete such that we can go back and reference them for future writing
We want to tell a story so including motivation and plans is important (take the time it will be worth it)
Preparation of figures and presentation slides along the way will help develop our story and solidify our plans
Limited time necessitate preparing our presentation and any writing we want to do along the way
Image preparation
Existing rasterized images (gels, photos etc.) should be modified (ethically) in photoshop
New drawings or modification of graphs and tables should be done in illustrator
Save in native adobe format as well as other formats for web or integration into writings
Save graphs as .ps or .pdf from graphing program to import into illustrator
More imaging
We will try to keep a standard format for figures as we go so that they can be put together easily
Keep font sizes, line weights, color matching the same throughout image as well as across images
When making images for presentations save as .png with transparency (also save as .ai or .psd)
Labeling and reaction mixing
Label each sample carefully and non-ambiguously before adding reagents
Make a list of reagents for each reaction before starting
check off each reagent as you add them to the reactions
Double check everything is there before incubating or running reaction
Pipetting
Make sure you have the right pipette for the volume needed
When taking fluid depress button of pipette only to the first level of resistance
Look at tube and tip when taking up reagent
When ejecting liquid depress button of pipette all the way down remove from sample and release
