astudyinphd: Thursday 8/23/19: Gradblr Challenge Day 18 I haven’t been good about posting this week. Here’s a summary of what I did: In lab: SO MUCH mouse colony management, which is paying off because a litter just dropped today with genetics crosses that I am VERY interested in. Just 30 days until they’re ready for experimentsTweaking staining and imaging protocols for the morphology experiments. Unfortunately, one of the moms ate her newborn litter (AKA my backup litter), so I have to wait at least another month for new litters to drop from this crossMade sure our masters student stays on schedule with his experiments.In life: Had a tick bite scare from our night at the drive-in movie theatre in south Jersey. It doesn’t fit the timeline or behaviour of tick biting, and it actually matches really well with severe allergic reaction to mosquito bites, which fits the timeline and the number of bites, but the two bites I got immediately developed into bullseye rashes, which is the telltale sign of Lyme infection I went to the urgent care, and they prescribed my doxycycline just in case. I’m all for using antibiotics responsibly, but I’m willing to take my chances with MRSA and other antibiotic-resistant bacteria if it means I don’t get Lyme disease. Set up my new bullet journal! Things I’m excited for in this journal are:Separate sections for wedding planning and interior planning for our next apartment.Separate sections for my thesis work. Inside, I have an overview page with my three aims and current projects I’m working on. Then I have one page dedicated to each project to track the protocol tweaking, progress achieved, and/or changings of project directions. The rest will be threaded to these first few pages.We’ve also been getting ready for our engagement party this weekend! -- source link
