JANE'S ADVENTURES IN LAB LAND UPDATE

I just thought I'd keep you all updated on my work at Medimmune. Recently I have been working with the very patient Miguel Carvalho who has been helping me to create some work that is drawn with bacteria on agar jelly and as the bacteria grows it expresses a fluorescent green protein. Making my drawings grow and glow! I have some images here in black and white that are taken by a machine in the Lab but I have the help of the very talented Jon Large to take photographic images to capture the glowing green colour of them for the final piece.
This is a test image just to try and capture the glow, looks great doesn't it?!
