Week 19: Lab Days

This week was a busy one in the lab.  Last weekend, I started prepping for some DNA extractions (I had help on Saturday, Asante Babu and Patroba!) and did three days of extractions. Luckily, there were no power cuts and everything went smoothly.  I took down three screenhouse assays, setup what should be my last screenhouse assay (!), and inoculated some tomatoes with bacteria.

This weekend should be a bit more relaxing: some data entry, a little writing, some monkey watching (they’re right outside my bedroom now!), and some shopping.

Pics from this week below!

The mountains were particularly beautiful this week.
