About the unsecreted protein

The protein I mentioned here is those ones I was working on in Ashe lab. In detail they are Dpp C terminus fragment and the Sog fragment. I asked Stiring and Philip about this, Stiring suggested that it may be the problem in folding, and Philip suggested that it may be caused by the uncorrect cleavege of the premature protein.
No idea on how to fix this... though...

Then it is the end of May. The poster presentation is not bad, 3 people came and asked me, they didn't have hard questions - 24 posters are a huge number for any one to take. These guys are: one of the examiner (there are two of them), CJ Stiring (my 2nd tutorial teacher), and a faculty staff lady. Btw, I had 1 bottle of beer and lots of crips there, the crips are nice.

What is frustrating is that the report is a mess, both Hilary and Phil metioned that my English writing is still the biggest problem. Hilary is a strict one too, I guess I should work even harder to make her satisfied - however this is not a bad thing, I am evening thingking of do my PhD programme in her place since if I am able to achieve her expectation I guess I will be a really good PhD. I have no better idea on the English, maybe more practise will help, I will try writing more ACADEMIC style thing recently, and yes, continue the reading though they are not so academic. Also I will try to get some advice from the language school of UofM.

The presentation mark is acquired as well, this is good, average 8 out of 10. The tutorial mark is not so high though, our group all misunderstand something in it...

There is a ad on the street which looks interesting, it is about a pub/bar festival, names "The BIG One". And the ad reads "The most memorable night you may never really remember."
