Morning

 * set up 5ul ligations with plasmid, each of 6 promoters, plus one RBS.reporter
 * 0.5ul T4 ligase buffer
 * 10ng plasmid
 * 10ng RBS.reporter
 * 0.2ul promoter
 * 0.25ul T4 ligase
 * Incubate at room temperatures over lunch
 * pour plates (LB + amp + IPTG + X-gal)

Afternoon

 * Do quiz on units
