About Me
I'm a humanist, materialist, and skeptic interested in just about anything related to the natural world.
I study receptor structure and dynamics, and specialize in ionotropic glutamate receptors. I'm also interested in neuronal receptor function, their use as therapeutic targets, and the specificity problem with different receptor subtypes
I'm a pro-independence Puerto Rican. As a historical aside, my great-great grandad was imprissioned in El Morro for participating in 'El Grito de Lares', one of the few revolution attempts against Spain.
I like baking, crocheting, and fuzzy kittehs that wake me up for food at 4am. I love good music, good food, and drunken science conversations.
I don't enjoy sexist and/or homophobic stereotypes. I make awesome chocolate cupcakes and sing at my cats when no one's looking.
Oh, and around the blogosphere I post as Brigit.

Yeah, the nuns in my school used to say that those poor Protestants were just a sad/confused lot because they were not patient enough to change good ol' Mother Church from the inside. The Vatican: Openly gay men and women in clergy -->…

I'm all for troll welfare. It's like feeding pigeons in Central Park: why not? They're there, annoying and the head-bobbing inspires some mildly violent urges to kick them, but hey. Feeding them passes the time.

I think I burned my LB media

Posted on October 15, 2009 at 11:52am 1 Comment

I forgot to take the LB media from the autoclave last night. When I arrived today it was dark amber and each flask had lost ~100mL to evaporation. Is my media burnt and has to be discarded, or can I reconstitute it adding autoclaved water?
