I never knew cells were this fragile. I killed all my cells. :( It's fun culturing cells but the protocol must really be followed and not only that everything has to be done in a sterile environment which means if things that are used are not sterilized and that includes my hands, there woul be a risk of contamination and the cells will die. That was how my cells died. :'( But it was my first try afterall. (just to console myself) It was growing well the first day but after I changed the medium for the cells, I think I introduced some form of contamination and thus wiping out all the living cells. Oh and I just found out that the cells that I am growing belongs to a 14weeks old male caucasian foetus that was aborted in 1966. I am really curious how cells that are nearly 40 years old can still be cultured. But then again it seems rather cruel to do that. Well, I don't know. Oh gosh, I'm presenting to the BOSS and those presentation lecturers on thursday (keeps finger cross) for some competition rehearsal. This is making me have butterflies in my tummy. Oh gosh I would really need to storm heaven with prayer in order to go through those peeps and guess what, I haven't memorize my speech. Shall end here today and try to memorize my speech.
