My Journey Through Grad School

It's August...Already!

I can not believe that August is here already. I've been in the lab for nearly a month and while I haven't made significant findings, yet, I'm getting there. I do feel a slight bit of pressure considering I only have a little over a month left in my rotation. My goal is to get as many experiments done by then...and hope for the best. I've been learning so many new techniques and enjoying every minute of it. I know that my rotation is not about make a really big scientific discovery, it's about me making little ones that will ultimately affect my future in science. One thing that I've learned is that some people are not the most accommodating and don't enjoy working with others. Working with these individuals is difficult but I've found that remaining focused on the taskat hand and my goals, helps.
