Unfortunately, today will be my last day working with Dr. Cryan. He has been an absolutely amazing mentor, I could never have expected what a great time I have had learning and working with him. He has taught me everything from basic DNA structure to sequencing genes, to PCR machines, to gel electrophoresis. Today, we primarily worked on the presentation that all the interns will be giving at the end of the year assembly. We scrolled through some old power point slides and discussed ways to describe to people, who haven't spent months in lab learning, what exactly I've been doing. I found it especially helpful to look back on all of these long blog entries to review the vast amount that I've accomplished with my mentor. This has overall been a very rewarding experience and cannot wait to participate in another internship in my senior year!
Congratulations for finishing your internship, I can't believe it is your last day already! I am sure you have gained a lot of bio-related knowledge by working with your mentor. The PCR technique and all the stuff would definitely help you as you move on to another internship next year (lucky to be doing internships for two years!), I wish you the best of luck and once again, congratulations, I am very happy for you :-)
ReplyDeleteNice comment, Beatrice
DeleteI am glad that you found your time at NYSM rewarding, and that you have noticed the benefit of blogging. I agree with you on both counts.
