First and second week, Lab Intro

The first week was just full of so much information and I was fortunate enough to start from day one. My mentor showed me how things work in the lab and on the first day I learned how to do cell counts, and culture transfers as well as helping her record data for her current experiment. On tuesday I was taught how to make media and acid washes, the rest of the week I took time to read papers that would help me gain a better understanding of my project. The second week was prety much dedicated to cell counts. However when I wasnt working on those I was either making media, transfering cultures or working on an abstract for SACNAS. I feel that in these two weeks I have gained a major understanding of what my project is going to really be like and that I'm perfecting skills that I havent had the chance to use in quite a while, I'm really looking foward to next week I feel like now that the transition period is over I will be much more productive and that the lab work will be much faster than it was at first.
