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.

    OMG! Congratulations on getting into the Conference! I'm super excited for both of you to attend! If y'all want to practice your presentation in front of anyone, I'll be in the lab on Friday and definitely don't mind lending my ears! You girls rock!

    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!

What an Interesting Semester..

Now that we are near the end things are getting a little bit stressful. But I am glad that I feel a lot better this semester than the last one. This semester has definitely been very interesting, and I am sure that I can speak for everyone. Being forced to self isolate ourselves, and convert to online learning was very tough. Hopefully next semester we are able to go back to school and enjoy all the small things. if this quarantine has taught me anything its that I was taking the small things for granted. Next semester, I will be becoming a senior and completing my last year at ASU and I cannot wait to make memories. I just would love to congratulate all the graduates that have completed their studies this semester. And it is unfortunate that they will probably not have the celebration that they were hoping for but they all should be proud no matter what. I hope when all this is done that they will be able to celebrate like how they deserve.

Almost Spring Break! but still some finishing touches have to done..

Now that the WAESO conference is out of the way, our group can now focus on the next step of our project. Our biggest project now is starting the biodegradation process with our different types of microplastics and  Pseudomonas species.  Before we started any measuring, some preparation had to be done. We must shred more plastics to work with and we decided to incubate a fresh set of  Pseudomonas species. After all the preparation is completed then we can start the biodegradation process and we will finally get to measure if the different types of Pseudomonas species can aid in the biodegradation of microplastics in water. This experiment will consist of a lot of variables and patience, but I am hoping, in the end, it will be worth it.

Social Media Presence

We live in a world and generation where social media is everywhere, and almost everyone is currently using it. It has become more accessible to people because we all have the internet at the tip of our fingers. With one quick search of anyone's name, you are very likely to find at least one of their social media platforms. So it has become imperative to create a good presence of yourself, especially when you will soon be searching for a new job or trying to get into an educational program. Recently, I have noticed how important it is to upkeep my social media presence online, thanks to Dr. Silva and Dr. Ferry. I have always used platforms like Instagram and Facebook, but that is more for my personal life and not my professional life. That is why I like to use something more like Linkedin or Handshake for that. However, I recently have been open to improving my personal website because I can have a little more freedom, and I can add a lot of information to make it more personalized....
