bronwynrhSo I'm data crunching, analysing all the images I've generated over the past 2 days of microscopy so I don't get too far behind over the next FOUR days of microscopy. While I crunch this data with mind-numbing repetitive keystrokes, I am reading a book about microbial life on leaf surfaces.
It's fascinating, to a point, but it's written by plant folk who use a vocabulary quite unfamiliar to me. Most of the terms I just skip over, having a vague or reasonable idea of what they mean based on their context. Others, I stumble over and say, "whots that now?"
Gotta love Firefox and Google. I typed in "albedo" and got this. Well golly gee, I didn't know that. Did you?
It took me 5 pages of repeated mentions before I figured out what "adaxial surface" meant.
Don't know why I shared that with you.
