HESTEC

For the assignment that was given to us for bio writing, for that assignment I based it on Dr. Therrian. He was an excellent choice to have been brought during Hestec week. He spoke about his career that he is currently in, and about recent developments. I then was granted an interview with him, and asked him who was the one person that has inspired him to be where he is today. He then responded by saying his mentor during his graduate studies. Overall, he was an excellent speaker!!!

Well last week seemed like it ended rather quickly. I finished both of my abstracts that were due that week. I have began to learn read about the presidential candidates, and their position if they are elected. I know there will be a group of women and men that will vote for Sarah Palin, just because she is a women. I on the other hand will not base my vote on that, my vote will be based on what each candidate plans to do with the education issue. Another issue that I will be looking at is the ways they plan to get up out of this recession.

Hurricane Dolly Project is over

I just finished my project in Dr. Fredensborg lab, and now have a complete understanding to as why there is the phase " Do not procrastinate". Getting the results to my project was not the hard part of my project, it was trying to combine all results together and trying to find a difference. That was the hard part. This project was started late in the summer and took us a while to finish, but sometimes in science it takes a while to get your results. I am so glad that is over, and now I get to start my next project, my killifish!!!! I am totally exicited to start my work on this fish and see the similarities and differences in projects that have been done all over the United States.

Biology Journal Club

I went to the Biology Journal Club last friday, it was interesting to hear many professors saying their opinions about the paper that was assigned. We all said our opinions on what the next step would be for this particular experiment. I think it there where a total of 4-6 students that max, and almost the entire biology dept. It was extremely informative !!! Cant wait for friday
