When I was first asked to keep a blog while doing my summer internship, I thought it would be easy. But as it turns out, I have once again proved to myself that I can’t use technology. So, if you’re wondering why my picture is of my forehead, it’s because I have no idea what i’m doing.
Our first day was pretty slow. We went over basic microbiology techniques, like making up agar, as well as doing some basic fibre analysis with microscopes. I couldn’t for the life of me remember how to set up the microscope for Kohler illumination, but I think I winged it ok. I will have to brush up before next time. Now we all get the veritable thrill of risk assessments and ethics forms.
All in all day 1 has been very beneficial, I’m looking forward to seeing what more I can gain from this summer experience…. and shredding it on the lab ukulele.
