Bio Science Conference at the Convention Center!

-
I am excited to say that Maria and I will be attending this Arizona Industry Association conference on October 3rd. Thanks to the recommendation by Dr. Cotter we decided to give this conference a shot, and sure enough, we were accepted got the email confirming our attendance. This will be the first conference we will be attending for the year, so we are going to dedicate some time to practice our presentation and to get more familiar with speaking in front of crowds of people again. I am really excited to be attending this conference and to see what kind of research other people are doing around the valley. It should be a good learning experience for us.

    I thought you guys did an awesome job relaying the info to me. I'm sure that you'll be amazing. I'm excited to hear about it. When you were talking about it, it sounded like it had the potential to be one of the more fun conferences. Make sure to take good mental notes about the research happening in our area! I wanna hear about that!

My College Experiences

  Picture My college experience has been all over the place. I first started at Phoenix College, which was an amazing experience. After taking all the courses for an associate's degree, I transferred to ASU West campus. I can relate this transition to when someone is moving to another job and moving to another company. This transition at first was not easy for me. The change took some time to get used to, but I can only imagine how it feels when you move somewhere new or get a new job. Another college experience that I can relate to as an employer-desired experience is my specified classes that are in forensic science. For example, the first class I took when I first transferred was a principles in forensic science, and to this day, this has been one of my favorite classes. I learned so many forensics techniques that I know that I can apply to a work field. Lastly, another college experience would be using the techniques I used to meet new people and professors. I was able to build...

It is True What They Say.... Sometimes Change is Good :)

I could still remember coming straight out of high school, terrified to start college at Phoenix College. Teachers in high school tell you, "oh, in college it will be harder", "we are more lenient with you guys, then they are." So in my head, that was "what to expect." Going in I was terrified and I thought I was not able to survive even just the first semester. But as time went on, I met amazing professors and they helped give me gain the confidence to even consider a STEM field. I am glad I am getting a career in the STEM field because I am really enjoying everything I am learning. That is when I met my mentor and she helped me gain undergraduate research skills for over tw...

Using the SEM

-

This week the team had a chance to use the SEM machine one more time. We needed to get the last images for from the treated plastics that were stored in the minus 80 fridge. The images that the team observed were very outstanding. We got new images that were different from the images that were taken at the beginning. That is because the images that were taken at the beginning were just with the plastics,  and the images taken recently were combined with the different types of Pseudomonas. Next week we will finish getting the rest of the images under the SEM.
