Exciting Week?!?

This week has been very uneventful in many ways. I have been stuck in a Orientation for the U of A for TWO DAYS IN A ROW. I think I might pass out from boredom. The only scientific thing that I have done in the past week is a DNA purification and tape Petri dishes for my intern partner in crime, Vicky. I also worked on some Plasmid Mini-preps, which actually takes a while to accomplish, and ran gels on some of the samples that I made minipreps with.

So far, my project has been at a stand still, because there have been no a signs of growth in any of my medias. Personally, I think the fungus isn't growing since all of the medias I made are catered more towards plant fungus vs. animal, but I won’t know for sure until Dr Orbach comes back on Monday. Until then I’m putting my lab time to work on Teacher Intern Vicky’s project, which I’m not entirely sure what’s going down.

PS. Good Job to Logan and Greg’s Journal Club Presentations this week, The presentations were really mind stimulating and mind bottling. I also want to thank our guest speaker this week, because I found it really interesting and educational.

Interesting insight about the possibilities for why the different media are not working. I am sure it was a challenge to multi-task last week.
