lately ive been taking rat islets (pretty much tissue from pancreas of a rat that they study) that or zebrafish, and taking them through steps of ethonol and then xlenes (which is a very organic substance) into parrifin (pretty much a wax) and i put them into blocks of parrifin and then cut the tissue on and get them onto slides, and take them through a staining process called a h&e, so they can study them on microscopes and do what ever it is they do (try to find a cure/treatment for diabetes) other than that when i have nothing else to do i do husbendry work which is takin care of the zebrafish breeding them and keeping the "colony" alive

Sounds liek a pretty interesting job...haha. I have a funny feeling that if they found 15 gallons of ethanol disappearing every week they would be a little suspect though.
