Lisa,
Thanks for the slideshow. It was pretty gross. I always wondered what some of those pretty colours were. Seems we've grown some fairly nasty stuff over the years. Now the biology teacher wants to grow the bacteria first before showing them the slideshow. YUK!!

Hi Lisa,

If its not too late could I please have a copy of your slide show email is: pgregor@goodshepherd.catholic.edu.au.

Also I am wondering if anyone knows what the protocol regarding growing bacteria is in Qld Schools, I have looked on Ed QLD site but can't find anything. Has anyone done gram staining, I have a teacher wanting to do this for Year 10's and I am a bit nervous about it! 8-[

Thanks
Pilar

Her email address is shoffmann@concordia.sa.edu.au however I think I downloaded it from the net.
I have a method for gram staining if you can give me your fax number.

This might be the wrong place BUT:-
With "gram staining" it is for blood slides, and last I heard we are NOT allowed to use any blood products!
Bye the way welcome back everyone!

It's a stain for differentiating bacteria, (gram +ve and gram -ve) so it doesn't have to be blood products as far as I know.

Thanks Judy R for your gram staining recipe, it looks easy and not dangerous!, we will try this week.

Also thanks to Lisa for your slideshow, it certainly is gross :yuck: but at the same time strangely entertaining and educational :thumbup:

Hey Lisa,

I thought I'd asked for a copy of your (obviously excellent since everyone's buzzing about it!!) micro slide show but now I look here I can't see it - hmmm has all the MSDS & OH&S finally taken my memory grey matter??? :crazy:

Anyway, if you don't mind I would love a copy too especially as we're doing this next week!!!

Cheers Kel & much kudos =D>

I am sure I read your post too :w00t: :w00t: :w00t: Well all I can say is get used to it, weird things happen in science :cheesy: :cheesy: :cheesy: which may be the reason why we are all slightly mad :crazy:

Welcome to chemtalk by the way, this is great for everything you will need, science wise or just to let off some steam!

My apologies Kel,
You did P.M. me, but I tend to read some posts etc. at work, (depending on time) then I send the slideshow from home (usually very late at night!!). I didn't read your P.M before I did the last batch of requests, so you're in tonights list!! Sorry, it's been a huge week, both at home and work, but rest assured, it will be sitting in your inbox Monday morning.
Cheers,
Lisa

May I make a suggestion Lisa? As there are so many people still asking you for the slide show (it is so great, I love it thanks you so much :yuck: ) to save yourself some time, why don't you upload it as an attachment here, that way you won't have to spend forever emailing everyone? I would do it, but as it is your slide show, I am not sure if i should :-)

Hi Sassi,
Been there, tried that!! I consulted Adam at the time, and it seems the file is too big. However, my computer skills are limited, so feel free to give it a go. If you succeed, it's all good, if not, I'm happy to keep sending!!
Cheers,
Lisa

Presto2 & Macca, I'll send yours from home tonight.
