A Small Update

Well I am so busy this week I just needed to blog and leave a short update so here it goes.
Our RBBR plates are going good, I had odd contamination on two plates right next to each other, it looked like I got another fungus in both plates and it was a lot! So I restarted one of the plates and so far it looks good, the other one will just have to wait to be rerun. Tomorrow we should be meeting to start some PCR on a few of our fungal strains and I am very excited about it! I will have to remember to bring my camera so we can take some photos. We also organized our master collection last week and make sure we had all our dried specimens and all our numbers in plates of growing fungi.
Joey and I are also working with another friend from the REU program on our PowerPoint presentation, all we really have left to do is add some photos and maybe a few more slides, it should look really good!
Anyways, I am very excited to leave for Florida! We leave on Tuesday and I am sure I will have a blast but I am not looking forward to missing a week of school!
Well, that's it for now I think, I should be posting another blog in a week or two.
Later!
