Lab Notes

Welcome, to the proof I went to college

My dream scenario is that someone stumbles across these, and goes "Wait a minute, this is incredible..! This is exactly the content and level of detail that MY lectures are covering - why, these notes are perfect!" and while I know the chances of that are low, it's not technically zero.

If you are not my dream visitor, you are of course welcome to have a look at my notes. I often wish I could casually study college-level courses, but obviously, most people don't think to share their lecture notes publically. BUT maybe I'll start a trend?

Mostly, I spent a lot of time on the cheatsheets, and it feels a little sad for them to just languish on a hard drive forever after all that effort.

Also, if you ever want a better version of any of these, just let me know. I also have actual decent quality pdfs, rather than these (much lighter, much fuzzier) pngs.

Microbiology cheatsheets

Microbe Portfolio

Here are some dossiers on the microbes I had to learn for my undergrad studies. Open in new tab to make these a little more legible

Aquafix, Cyanobacteria, Stapylococci, Streptocci, & Lactic Acid Bacteria:

Bacilli, Clostridium, Sporosarcina, Purple phototrophic bacteria, & Gram neg Proteobacteria

Pseudomonas & Psudomonads, Bdellovibiro, Campylo/Helicobacter

Enteric bacteris & Acetic Acid bacteria

Staphylococcus aureus

Microbial Metabolism
IMViC test cheat-sheet - now you too can identify any* microbe you find! * any gram negative, non sporeforming, non-motile, bacilli that will ferment lactose to produce acid and gas when incubated at 37 deg Celcius

This is the entire flowchart of respiration & fermentation (incl. chemotrophic)

Environmental Microbiology
Carbon Cycle

Nitrogen Cycle

Virology cheatsheets

Viral Infection

the who & how of various viral infections

Viral Diseases

Mostly an overview of different RNA viruses

Treatment of Viral Infection

Zoology cheatsheets

This is quite literally the entire 2nd year zoology undergraduate syllabus. It's a LOT, but it's also a lot of cool animals. If you look through any of my notes, these are absolutely the most interesting ones. Animals are so cool!!!

I've got pages for so many animals, so without further ado:

Minor Phyla incl. nematodes, arrow worms, lophophores, gnathiferans, & nemertea

Mollusca

Platyhelminths & Annelid worms

Crustaceans

Echinoderms

Mammals

Monotremes & Marsupials

Panarthropoda

Arthropoda

Reptiles

Modern Birds

If you are wondering where the corals and sponges are, I know, I don't like their exclusion here either!! but truly I don't have a reason. I guess I either lost the board or just never made one??
