Like every day this week, I continued to perform more procedures and learn more things about science in the physiology rotation of the internship. This morning, Mark and I were working on his side project, which involved clippings of mice tails. We centrifuged the samples and then removed the supernatant, and then placed in some more ethanol, and then centrifuged it again. It was also interesting how your can mold the glass Pasteur needles into hooks so we can extract the DNA pellets from the tubes.
Anyway, the interns ate at Jimmy John's, a cozy deli which was in front of Centennial Hall. The food was pretty good, and it didn't cost as much as I.Q. or as much of a health concern as Papa John's. Food....yummy....anyway....after lunch, I went back to Dr. Camenisch's lab alone and then Mark and I brought some samples to Dr. Schroeder's lab. Using computer imaging and pictures, we were actually able to find activity in the MEKK4 slides and the Filamen-1 slides. The first run has been successful, but we're planning to work on some slides that have cross-sections of later-stage fetuses.
