Emailing with Koch
From: Me

''Hey I was thinking we needed some other stuff for molecular biology. Competent E coli cells, plasmid (pBluescript), and QIAPrep kit (I think Andy ordered 3 Qiaquick kits). I had more earlier but I can't remember what I wanted to get. Should I go ahead and order this stuff? Also did you add more money to the CRLS account? Last I saw (Tuesday) the account was down to $130 or something close. Can you add to my sad list?''

From Koch:

''Yeah we should order these, good thinking. No shit, down to 130 already?! I can add more money later today. But we also need to figure out how much money we have left for the year and project our spending / consumption. I don't know a good way to do that yet...''
