TRAIN Scholar Justine Horton's Blog

Hi, Everyone. It's been a pretty boring week in the lab. I'm waiting for a stain called Congo Red. I hope to use it as an initial indicator for biofilm. Despite a boring lab week, I've been using the time to get homework done. I'm also in the process of looking for summer internships. This is almost harder than looking for a job. Undergraduate Internships are far and wide between, and I've taken up looking in neighboring states.

Hi, Everyone. I don't know about everyone else, but this week is my first full week of classes (apparently, I had a few late start classes). I always start strong in the first week, and then it all goes downhill from there, but this semester, I'm trying to keep up with everything. Aside from that, I've hit that point where all my open tabs are research articles for TRAIN. I'm super excited about my project this semester. This semester requires me to branch out and ask others for help, which makes me nervous. I am attaching a picture from my first robotics competition where I got to drive a bot!! Super exciting experience.
