We researchers know very well the feeling: after a weekend, you enter the lab and want to see what has happened to your plates. Are there colonies on them? Are they blue or white? Often, the pleasant excitement is followed by a deception, but when things have worked as expected...That is indeed a nice feeling. Another moment I like very much is when you enter the lab and find your students having done something like what I show in the picture below. Engineering students from Valencia Biocampus team helped their wetlab friends, who needed more magnetic stirrers. The solution? A PC fan with a magnet on top and suitable resistances for it to turn at a desired speed. It works as well as the commercial ones. Low cost, high motivation.
