      Hi crowntown100,

      Haha – yes I am, answering a never-ending stream of questions from you guys! (and it’s past my bed time).

      Been at work half an hour. I cycled in made a coffee, answered some work-related email and now I’m catching up with these questions. Soon i’ll have to start a work-related writing project and then help out with an experiment.

      in the experiment we’re trying to kill some human white blood cells called macrophages (they eat dead cells and other rubbish) and looking at their mitochondria using a microscope. The mitochondria are the energy factories of the cell and when they shut down the cell does to. I like this experiment because I’ve done it a lot and it’s quite reliable.

      Yep! It’s 5:30 and I’ve got another 4 hours to go before I can leave… but to be fair, I’ll be playing badminton from 7-8 😀

      No it is almost 9pm – way too late for that type of thing

      Hi crowntown100. As I have to leave my desk and come to another floor and computer to answer your questions, strictly speaking no! However, yes, I am working today but being an environmental scientist, there is always something on the news about environmental issues so when I get home, I can never get away from it!!:)
