Hey y’all! Katie Beth is back on the vlog!

Today started off mundane. The only thing that kept me going is the fact that I finally was able to eat pancakes for breakfast because there was no line! We spent most of the morning working on our posters and manuscript.
However, we did spend some time in the lab doing our most pivotal experiment: transformations. Here we are transferring our antibiotic resistant mutations to our wild type bacteria cultures in hopes that they will develop resistance as well. Here are some pictures with my lab mates!

After that, we headed to lunch where I had this delicious chicken and avocado sandwich!

After lunch we had a lecture from our amazing TA, April. She talked about the Boston Subway System.
We soon went back to the lab to perform a dilution series and spread the plates on them.

That was it! Honestly this program is going by so fast! I can’t believe it is our final week!

Anyways this is Katie Beth signing off. See you later!
