Yesterday was productive.

1. Got up at 7.30, left at 8.40
2. Met up with another project supervisor at 9 to discuss a project. Not one I particularly want to do, but you do have to have contingency plans!
3. Found Alex in paperchase - bought more yellow paper (for Journal notes)
4. Sat in Starbucks for an hour and half nursing a grande coffee - read through two papers, one on angiogenesis (apparently there is a simple and secure 2 stage plan to ensure that segmental arteries and veins form in the same number, and alternatively AVAV etc.), and one on Kidney Tubulogenesis. GDNF and RET are the most important proteins in this, though you must not overlook the importance of the inhibitors BMP4 and Fox.
5. Went to the library, and printed off a paper for next week's journal club (one we have to give a paper on), and printed a Dissertation reading list that I made yesterday.
6. Lecture on the initiation of Parturition
7. Lunch - in Buttery. mmm.. cold couscous.
8. Went to the UL. Found two useful dissertation books, read in the West Room for a bit, and had tea in the tea-room.
9. Went to the physiology department (to photocopy some of said books), and popped in to the UCS on the way to ask about Alex's questionnaire hosting.
10. Came home in the pouring rain, read another paper, had dinner, showered, slept.

LOTS of work for one day. Was out the house 9 till 5.30... hardcore!
