It's crazy how quickly the time passed. I feel like it was just yesterday that we moved in and got our lab assignments.
This past week was pretty productive. We completed a couple western blots with which I feel pretty comfortable. Dieter has also taught me a couple of new techniques and procedures. We did a DNA extraction from the yeast cells and were able to run a pcr (comfortable with that too) from it. He also showed me how to run digests for different things. The first was a DNA digest where we verified that certain plasmids were correct. Second was the protein digest. He had some GFP and wanted to verify that it was in each sample.
On Friday, we went to Blue Water Seafood Market & Grill. I had eaten there with Alex last year, and the food was equally good this time. I definitely recommend it for the group next year.
The end and final presentations are coming up quickly. School is also just around the corner. We'll see how I deal with the return to the Fresno heat.
