Week of 10/7/19

10/8

Took the plates we inoculated on Saturday out of the incubator to find that three of the medias were massively contaminated. All four plates for TSB, NA, and LB showed predominately white bacterial growth. The LB plates did not show any D. aquaticus growth at all. The NA plates showed very small pink colonies scattered among the white, however, none of the colonies were isolated from the white. The TSB plates showed very small coral colonies mixed with the white, with some isolated from the white.









10/10

Because of the setback of the contaminated plates, I spent most of my time planning out adjustments to my experiment and schedule.

11/12 Planned what I needed to have ready in order to perform PEMS on the final batch of inoculated flasks. 11/14 Inoculated flasks from the 10/26 plates and placed them in the incubator. 11/15 Prepped the plates needed to show the inactivation of bacteria for the PEMS process. I also did some research on various Deinococcus  species. 11/16 Busy day. Flasks were taken out of the incubator and inspected for growth, then OD readings were performed. OD readings. I did gram stains for each of the flasks. The TSB sample did show contamination, indicated by the small spheres mixed in with the rods that are more typical of D. aquaticus . The gram stains also showed some discrepancies. D. aquaticus  is typically Gram negative, however, the stains I did showed a mixture of negative and positive, sometimes within the same sample. LB R2B TGY TSB TSYE With Stacy's assistance, we did PEMS on my samples to be analyzed with MA...

Learning, Past and Future

Three years ago, I had a basic understanding of what Forensic Anthropology was. Of course, I'd seen shows like "Bones" which centers around an anthropologist who works with the FBI (and writes novels on the side), and although I know that shows often exaggerate and sensationalize the work of forensics, the basics of the profession are there. So I knew that things like biological sex and ancestry could be determined through the examination of certain bones. Then I took an introductory course on Forensic Anthropology at GCC that showed me there is so much more information contained within our bones. The story of our life can be found in our bones. In addition to age, biological sex, ancestry, and height, they can offer clues to our hobbies and occupations as areas of bone build up or wear away from repeated movements, our past and present illnesses, our childhood circumstances if we grow up without a healthy diet, and potentially how we die. I found that incredibly fascinat...
