Believe it or not this isn’t even the most I’ve spent in one day in the lab. And this was basically only for THREE items btw 😭 This is why science funding is SO important. Research is EXPENSIVE and every dollar matters. Cutting funding doesn’t make science cheaper, it just makes it harder for scientists to do their work. I’m very grateful to be in a lab that can afford to repurchase antibodies so easily and utilize core facilities, but this isn’t the story for most labs in the US anymore.
