TGIF...really? Funny I didn't notice....

Going to the Camenisch lab was mainly focused on me helping out and not doing anything major, such as refilling the Nanopure H2O and picking up packages. I also assisted Mark about some packages and filled out some more paperwork. I also cleaned up the work benches a bit, providing the aesthetic atmosphere for the researchers. It was very beneficial for the lab personnel, because it provided that aesthetic atmosphere for everybody to work in. I just thought it would be a very good idea.

Journal club provided some degree of interest. Greg provided his presentation concerning his project and the behavior of snakes. Logan also described of his very complicated, but comprehensible, project and concepts, which was concerning a project performed on Drosophila, now going to be performed on Aedeus Aegypti. All in all, it provided ideas of RNAi (RNA interference) into the workings of the mosquitoes. Kevin came by to observe us, but he had to then leave around noon for a meeting at noon. He told us that the idea of tags is probably not going to happen because the tag are more of a security nature than an identity nature. It allows authorized personnel to maneuver in, out, and around the building.

Moving on. Dr. Nathan Cherrington was a very casual, and knowledgeable, pedagogue to the world of toxicology. He is currently working on drug transporters in the liver. That seemed to be of great interest to the interns and Marti. Nathan was also rather comical, and very friendly.

So here I am, back at the lab, working on some more stuff. I don't really know what I'd do without the computer. I'm just so dependent on the computer nowadays. Oh well....Mark, Derrick, and I didn't really plan anything today. We just wanted to get some stuff out of the way, and probably figure out what to do while Mark is gone at Washington D.C. He said he's excited, and I'm happy for him. He gets to do some stuff. Allie's in Idaho, and she's probably having some fun too. Laurel just got back from Virginia and/or Canada, and she's swamped. I've been working from 8 to 5, so I've been busy. I feel like I'm living in the lab. There is that possibility.
