We all know the expression: “last night was lit, crazy movie”. Little did I know that when coming to SSP, that every day would become a lit, crazy movie.
Each and every day here at SSP there’s a rising action, a build up of suspense or pressure (will the chemostat tubing explode again?! Have our bacteria successfully gained spec resistance?! Will our nanodrop DNA be decently concentrated?!), and at last: a climax and resolution. 39 days in retrospect seems like a lot, but every one is valuable and every one is unique.
Today, the 31st day of the program, my friends and I learned about how to model 3D protein structures for enzymatic subunits in Swiss Model. However, we also set out on a crusade in which we yet again conquered the Panda Express menu, putting our lives in the hands of fate as we cracked open our slightly too-pale cookies and read the red fortunes within. Though many of us were stuck in the lecture room working away at our posters until late in the night, the work itself blended into a backdrop of collaboration, laughs, and curiosity.
Enjoy the vlog!
