I wrapped up my final few days in Tanzania and returned safely to Wooster, Ohio.  Conducting research and living in Tanzania was an amazing experience.  It wasn’t always easy, but I learned a great deal.  I was able to compile some of the things I learned working in the lab in Tanzania in this BitesizeBio article: http://go.osu.edu/snB

I wanted to use this final post to thank those who helped make this research possible:

Asante sana, tomato farmers!

Asante sana, Dr. Delphina Mamiro!

Asante sana, Jackson Nahson!

Asante sana, Dr. Hosea Mtui!

Asante sana, Babu Selemani!

Asante sana, Laura Alexander, Godbless Ulomi, and iAGRI!

Asante sana, Dr. Sally Miller!

Asante sana, Miller labbies!

And with that, thank you for following my blog.  Asante sana!!

This week was my last full week in Tanzania.  I kept busy by wrapping up experiments and prepping samples to bring/send back to the United States.  I also gave a seminar about my research and had a good discussion with several faculty about my research after the seminar.  I’m glad I was able to wrap everything up smoothly because there were many power cuts this week that lasted the entire day.

Pics from this week!

Sometimes you need to make your own ice block for DNA precipitations. Complete with ethanol cupholder!

Crazy optics!
