Week 4

This is an incomplete blog entry as I spent two days in Kansas City for a medical school interview.

But I will give as much information as I can over events that occurred on Monday and Thursday.

On Monday, I ran some more Wes plates with my secondary adviser Caitlin. I ran plates for samples day 14 to day 56 from the S1BF region in mice brains. My results indicate that the run was completed successfully as compared to the disastrous run of the same plate a few days ago. After I completed the Wes plates, I took a break for lunch and organized my notebook and my materials. After that, I called it a day and I prepared for my medical school interview.

Tuesday and Wednesday can be summarized in four words: the interview was difficult. And that is all I am going to say.

On Thursday, after a red eye flight and arriving in Phoenix at 8 in the morning, I caught the light rail to the Arizona Biomedical Collaborative. At the weekly lab meeting, I learned again what not to do in lab studies along with learning some new facets of the medical industry. Overall, I had a very light work day, and after doing some organizing and setting a wes plate for my senior advisor, Sarah, to run, I called it a day.

I hope that on Friday, I can do some more organizing as well as helping others in the lab.

Till next week. Signing off.
