This week was spent drying aloe vera leaves. I finally got the procedure down right, and just as I thought I was ready to move on to the next step...it turned out that I didn't dry enough aloe. It was more funny than anything because the little I did make wasn't even enough to show up on the gram scale. It's all okay though, next week I hope to make a lot more. As for my secondary experiment, I plated Staph. A today and found 3 new substances to test. Another mixture of aloe vera and ehtanol, lavender essential oil, and tea tree oil. I can't say I have any high hopes for the oils but I tried a different technique with the aloe that I hope will yield better results.
Hi Everyone, It's great to be back with TRAIN this semester. Lately I've been researching and reading articles related to my project. Since I"ve decided to ditch last semester project, and come up with my own there's been a lot of brainstorming. I'm excited to put together something from scratch. I already have something in mind and now it's up to me and Josh to conduct this project within limitations. Either way I can't wait.
