This last week is going to be a crazy stressful and fun week! I am trying to get the last few experiments and results in before the posters are due! I am running against the clock to get my final photos in. I decided to run and include a drug treatment that kills all the microtubules in the cell. It is to see if the movement of the DNA is dependent on microtubules, or if there is another mechanism moving them. The poster is due Tuesday morning and I am hoping to get my results Monday afternoon. That does not give me much time for error. I am expecting that the DNA with not move if the microtubules are not present. If this test proves me wrong, that opens up a door full of questions. Hopefully, I won't have any issues staining my fertilized cells, like I have in the past.
I am excited about presenting my information this Friday. It is an awesome feeling to be able to look back at all I have learned over these past nine weeks. You don't realize how far you have come until you take a step back. It is also a nice feeling to know that you have a poster you can bring back to your home institution and present it at the local conferences. Even being able to bring it home to show my friends and family is very exciting! This past weekend, we had a crab-boil with other interns. We ate a ton of invasive European Green Crabs and they were delicious! It was my first time boiling crabs myself and my first time trying Green crab. I wish I could bring that back to the mid-west it was so good! The South Slough interns were the ones who invited us up to where they live in the hills to eat, the view was amazing. We looked out onto the valley as the sun set. It was a beautiful ending such a fun week.
