Weekend TripOn Friday Flynn, Catalina, and I flew out of the North Bend airport to SFO and got there around 3:30 in the afternoon. Catalinas mom picked us up and took us to cool parts of San Fransisco that I have been meaning to go. We went straight to Haight street where we walked around and hit some cool little stores. After this we went to the Wharf and got some sourdough bread. Catalinas mom arranged tickets for a boat tour around the Golden Gate Bridge and around Alcatraz Island. We ended the night eating some dinner at a restaurant and drove to Cats house in Cupertino. Saturday was spent hitting coffee shops, bagel shops and boba shops. Us three bartended for Cats moms birthday party and finished off the night with a late night In n Out run! Road Trip!That Sunday, We drove back to OIMB which took us about 10 hours. It was nice driving up California since that was all uncharted territory for me. I was amazed to how dense the woods are in Northern California and beautiful the scenery is. We got to OIMB at about 8 PM and just showered and relaxed after a long day. SEMMy SEM images are coming along well and I have greatly increased my image taking skills. I have learned how to use the Black/Gain mode on the SEM which intensified the Blacks and creates a contrast between the larva and the golden stub. This makes it easier to visualize the cilia on the larva. I have been taking more and more images in order to create a developmental "timeline" of the different warens stages for my project poster. I have also gotten a decent start to the poster and I have an idea of how the layout will be along with my results. The weeks are going by fast and we only have ~10 more working lab days which is not a long time to finish everything up. Excited to see how my poster turns out and how I will present my information.
This upcoming Saturday we also present at the CMLC to high schoolers and the public. This would be fun because we will get the change to present out project to a broad range of people and hopefully present to people who are very interested.
