It\u2019s been a whirlwind of a week, and I can\u2019t believe we\u2019re already a third through our summer here! <\/p>\n
I am especially glad to top off our week with the B Well 5k. You know what they say, \u201cthose who run together, stays together.\u201d Just kidding, that\u2019s probably not a real saying. While I haven\u2019t quite been keeping up with what Larissa, Jake, and Michelle are doing, it seems that they\u2019re totally in their groove and working hard. <\/p>\n
This week has been crazy but fun for me. Most of my time has been consumed by microinjection. It\u2019s a really tough skill to learn, with some mistakes made here and there. I was able to successfully inject control morpholino into some of the embryos, so it was exciting to see my practice pay off! I also spent some time running qPCR on the samples from short term and have noticed some trends that will help me propel forward with my thesis project. With so much on my plate, I haven\u2019t even found time to research for my methodology presentation on Monday (yikes). But alas, I\u2019m glad all these tasks have been thrown at me, as time has really flown by because I\u2019ve simply been too busy. It\u2019s been very satisfying returning to Adams exhausted but ready for the next day. For the upcoming week, I look forward to practice (a lot) more microinjecting and to begin taking leaps (probably more like steps) into my thesis project. Hopefully I will soon master the art of microinjecting!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
