I was so so so nervous to start this experience as I didn’t know what to expect! However, working in partners boosted my confidence and quickly I realised I had no reason to be so nervous. There was also a really chilled atmosphere around the lab which put me at ease 🙂
My favourite part of the day was looking at fibres under microscopes, but unfortunately, I didn’t analyse the pubes – I had the privilege of beard, yak and camel hair instead!
I’m really looking forward to the rest of the week; learning basic microscopic techniques (I am in dire need of a recap) and focusing on my fibre based project with Sam – gotta love a bit of velcro!
