Just got this in my U of A mailbox, which I haven’t checked for a month:
My name is [AMS]. I am working at the Chemistry Department under supervision of Dr. [RC]. We looking for a plasmid named pd2EGFP encodes the d2EGFP destabilized variant of the GFP, we are particularly interested in to get the EGFP gene fused to the mouse ornithine decarboxylase (MODC) at C-terminus ( variant d2EGFP). We will really appreciate is somebody have this vector or another one with the d2EGFP variant and can provide us with some.
I love it. It’s less like the ‘Your are not statisfyling you woman buy V1agra NOW’ and more like ‘Please donarte to my child’s hopsital bills, she has lukemia and we are runing out of muney to pay.’ Which is like, insidious, since it appeals to the sucker in all of us who can’t bear to see an outstretched hand.
Hah. As if he’s getting any of my plasmids. Nice try, spammer.
(Don’t feel like another post)
Oh, and can I just say, I cried my eyes out this morning when I found out that Pavarotti died, and was very weepy on our drilling site. I don’t mourn too many celebrities, but every once in a while a death hits pretty hard. (Michael Hutchence and Saul Bellow were the other two.)
RIP, L.P.!
