[Histonet] DAPI staining methacrylate sections
Hi everyone, I am in a rush to finish my master's thesis, but I needed to know exactly if it was possible to stain methacrylate embedded sections with DAPI and if so does anyone have a method for this? I am currently looking at cell distribution within these scaffold constructs that I have produced. The duration of the study is for 4 weeks. I am using HEPM (Human Embryonic Palatal Mesenchymal) cells. After staining, I will analyze the number of cells within this scaffold construct to count / estimate how many cells actually survived as well as the distance they were able to migrate using Bioquant. If anyone has an answer please do not hesitate to respond. Thank you.

[Histonet] Retirement
OK, I know it is Friday, and I know that this may sound like a bit of a jokebut I am 15-18 years out from retirement and my wife and I want to retire someplace tropical And it would be smart to get settled in such a location. So, if anyone knows of any openings in Hawaii, Virgin Islands, St. Thomas, Puerto Rico for an experienced HT (ASCP) QIHC PLEASE let me know. Would be open to others, but would prefer a US territory.

Bill, I am about the same age as you are and would like the same type of locale. Since there are so many of us in this field due to retire in the next 15-18 years maybe we should consider investing in a Histotech Retirement Community. Specimens could be shipped to us for processing and staining. We could set up microtome stations in the common area and we could get together and talk and cut at the same time and do it in a wonderful climate with nice views and of courseat our own pace which will be relaxed and more of a shuffle that a full out sprint.

Retirement? I think by the time I get to that point, social security will have run out.

We didn't have google when I was young!! Our cameras used film! And you couldn't see how bad your pictures were until you developed that film!! There was no PCR to sequence your DNA, you ran an agarose gel and hoped for the best!! You could drink the 100% ethanol, there was no denaturing!

[Histonet] Retirement
It seems that my reference to RETIREMENT has gotten everyone thinking about it. Heh...heh.. It has been suggested that I reconnoiter in advance of Those of You Who Won't Be Retiring Before I Do (February 29, 2012, if the creek don't rise...). I would be happy to perform that hazardous duty but I need more of those $5.00 donations coming in for whatever it was that I posted last week (I hope my gray cells will rejuvenate when I retire). I won't need the money for travel because I think I'm right where I need to be. Have any of you thought about New Mexico??? Just within the past year, it has occurred to me many times why this is such a good choice for retirement. We do not have hurricanes, we do not have tornados (okay, maybe rarely), we are not prone to earthquakes, the weather is jolly darn good 90% of the time (spring is out - way too windy) and we don't have more than a couple or four inches of snow in the winter. We don't start our furnace/heater until November and it's only in use until maybe early April. The air conditioner was just put to use two weeks ago and we won't need it past the first part of September. Low cost of living, lots of homes (reasonably priced - info upon request) for sale and the number of things one can do in New Mexico are practically endless. We have everything but a beach (and if California keeps shaking, we might have beachfront property - not that I'd wish that on California...). We have skiing, a big lake (fondly called Elephant Butt [Butte]) for water activities, stream, river and lake fishing out the kazoo, mountains to climb, white sands in which to wallow, beautiful sunsets and terrible drivers. Oops - that one slipped out! The margarita (and Bud Light) are the State Drinks (if one is so inclined) and this is the Land of Manana (read it like Spanish). Manana is way much better than I needed that right this very minute and no excuses! Shaded patios, cool evening breezes and gorgeous cool summer mornings (at least until 7:00 a.m.). Besides, I need a replacement beginning March 1, 2012. Brand new lab, tech-designed, bright and LEED, tons of space, a separate storage room for blocks and slides AND a volatile storage room with two acid cabinets and two xylene/alcohol cabinets and a salary (that's another subject, I do work for a State...). Can't have everything, but this is darned close. And I do not work for the Chamber of Commerce!

Hey Sally, I can attest to what you are saying. :-) I spent two summers as an undergraduate research scientist at the Inhalation Toxicology Research Institute in Albuquerque, and I had an absolutely wonderful experience. The rugged countryside is quite beautiful, and truly enchanting. I would often ride my motorcycle across the various regions of the state, enjoying all the variety that the countryside had to offer. I have many fond memories of those days, so thanks for sharing :-) ~Sean On Jun 17, 2011, at 2:08 PM, Breeden, Sara wrote: It seems that my reference to RETIREMENT has gotten everyone thinking about it.

RE: [Histonet] Retirement
I have recently traveled back from the future, and it does not bode well for histologists. The robots are pretty reliable and can operate 14 hours on a single charge. They also do not have to wear safety glasses when working with the laser microtomes. No vacations, no calling in sick, no travelling to seminars (new software version upgrades come to them) I noticed that someone still has to come in in the morning to flip the switches, but since CLIA will not likely consider that testing Well, who'll need a histologist for that? Funny though, pathologists are still around, but they are all workiing in a single building near Area 72. (you don't want to know about area 72 unless you are still around in 2035, then EVERYONE will know about area 72) They spend their full 6 hour day looking at scanned images on big-screen monitors and drinking coffee.

Low cost of living, lots of homes (reasonably priced - info upon request) for sale and the number of things one can do in New Mexico are practically endless. We have everything but a beach (and if California keeps shaking, we might have beachfront property - not that I'd wish that on California...).
