Summa Cum Laude

and I got to talk about KFC during commencement!

Summer Undergraduate Research Program, a paid fellowship to do research over the summer

Carone lab experienced "hot owl summer" where we successfully inserted a CTCF sgRNA into a plasmid backbone designed for utilization in CRISPRi/a

we also drank bubble tea :)

Same thing as last year but a little further on the project

Carone lab experienced "hot owl summer" once again where we successfully transfected our designer plasmid into HeLa and human mesenchymal stem cells

we also drank even more bubble tea :))

Did you know brewing research is something you can do with microbiology? I sure didn't

Investigated optimal pitching/harvesting practices, LMDA plating to screen for contamination, and a few different quality assurance assays.

Also drank a lot of beer--- for research of course.
