I received some results back from my inoculated liquid media from last week. I was going to mix it in with the substrate this week, but instead it got contaminated! I was bummed because I couldn't go on with that part of the experiment and we had to redo the media. Because what we had originally planned wasn't going to happen, we had some time to explore some more of the lab. I sat in on some other parts of people's experiments (super secret, so I am sorry I can't talk about them!) and they were very interesting. I feel pretty comfortable talking with the others so it was interesting and informative to exchange ideas about that experiment. Hopefully my results with the liquid media will be much better this week.
Well, research goes that way sometimes. Keep at it!
