I brought streak-plate cookies

I’ve been working in the lab quite a bit.  I finally purchased a car, but it’s giving me trouble and needs to go back to the dealer.  I’m loving my rotation and hate that I have to leave for 10 weeks, but hopefully I’ll be back.  Pretty pictures to come.  For the most part, I’ve been watching the grad students, but I’ve been able to do a little here and there myself.

Actually doing (or watching) science!

I have my own bench and gear!

Though it is actually the micro work area

Very busy, but glad to be!

I really just want to be in the lab, but I have papers to write and grade this week- blech.
