Week 6! Leaving only 3 weeks left, I am starting to analyze our images. For these next two weeks I am analyzing the pictures I have taken, deciding if there are any stages that we are missing or if there is a stage we need a better image from. What we have collected so far is nice, but there are some improvements that could be made. It seems as though the microtubules staining is very bright and strong on the outside, but is dissipating the deeper into the cell we look. This makes the inside microtubules fuzzy. We are unsure to why this is occurring, as we can see that it is penetrating all the way into the cell.
With this data collecting, I am starting to try organizing it into a poster presentation format. We are all going to be able to present our posters on the very last day of this program. I am excited to not only see all my work from the summer, but get to read the final results from everyone else. I hear about everyone's' good and bad days either in the lab or the field, so it is going to be nice to see all their information, knowing how much hard work was put into them. Getting outside of the lab, I was able to visit some friends of mine down near San Francisco over the weekend! It was my first time visiting and they took me all over to see the city. I had some of the best Thai food of my life and the street food might have been even better. I had one of the best hot dogs of my life..... I never thought I would be bragging about a good hotdog, but it was that good. Besides the food, we also went to watch a Giants V.S. Cubs game (Go Chicago) with an amazing view of both the field and the ocean. The game was close but the Cubs lost, and my friends made sure I remembered that. Hahaha. It is nice to be back at OIMB and back to the relaxing pace of life here. There are still so many places that I need to see near here, likes some of the cool caves, and time is running out fast. I can't decide which I want to spend more time on, finding cool places or doing extra research.
