End of the summer or end of an era?
Well, some would call it the end of the summer, and others the end of an era. Personally, I’ll stick with end of the summer. Zing! How ‘bout them apples, Undergrads? So, after going through an unbelievable amount of that stuff ————————————————-> over the course of the summer,...

End of summer!
Wow, it’s hard to believe that it’s the end of summer already. Most of our work is summed up in our abalone poster, although it doesn’t fully capture the amount of work (and mistakes) that the project entailed. We’ve both really enjoyed our time working in Dr. Robert’s lab and have learned a lot about molecular bio research techniques. Cullen will be back in the...

It is almost coming together
It has been a rather productive week (even without Cullen, yea really). Trying to get some closure to the abalone gene hunt. The plan is a poster will go to the printer next week. We have a few genes, three have been outed (see below post). Been working the bugs out of real-time. I think jiuhgbuyterbvcko0lkjfdsaq1xcvbmp

Ahhh, a new week!
Well, I for one am glad that a new week has rolled around. Overall, last week wasn’t too shabby, until the final two days. I got my notebook in order and that’s how it will stay, so that was good. Here’s a quick rundown of how last week went for me: Monday: Fine. Tuesday: And. Wednesday: Dandy. Thursday: See picture —-> Comicbook Guy from the Simpsons would have...
So in the past week we’ve been working to PCR genes from the various cDNA’s we created from different abalone tissues. One day Cullen and I ran 41 tubes between us! The results are looking good so far, showing that my MnSD gene is expressed in most tissues. Also, Dr. Roberts and I successfully obtained RNA from abalone tissue using a PowerSoil extraction kit, which was pretty cool....
