Finals Week!

-

Well, it is finally that final week where finals are approaching and everything seems so close but so far. The TRAIN class that we are all in made us plan out how we are going to do for our to-do list/ study guide that will help us organize the last few weeks for school. This really helped me a lot because I was able to organize what I need to study and also what I should prioritize.  This has helped especially this week that it is finals week. I hope everyone good luck on their finals! And hopefully, I am able to do good on mine as well.

Prepping Everything First!

Before the spring break started the goal was to get a set of fresh new plastics treated and disinfected. So the Friday before the spring break we grated as much plastic as possible, and we even had some people donate some plastics for our project because the drill we used was having some issues. We then drained them in 100% isopropanol and let them air dry inside the hood to allow them to be ready for after the break. When we came back the plastics were then tested on PIA plated to see if there was any contamination in them before we could start the incubation process. Plastic #3 did show signs of slight contamination so they were treated one more time to see if we could get rid of it and actually start our next step next week.

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.

Fig. 1 One of the images that was edited and placed in our posters. It shows the bacteria I was working on which is Pseudomonas aeruginosa,  When I left school Friday afternoon I thought I was going to have a regular easy going weekend. Usually, on my weekends I work from 7am to 3pm, so my whole morning is occupied working. With just a few days away from the 2018 WAESO Conference there was a lot of preparing to do for our posters Like I was saying I thought the posters were all set for the conference... I thought wrong. During the week there was so much editing to do with the posters. Every little tedious detail had to be just right, and that is what made this project a little harder. Do not get me wrong, in the end when I looked at the final edition of what was going to be printed the team and I felt so proud! All of our hard work finally paid off! Now I have to start preparing for my presentation, for the actual conference on Friday! Exciting!!
