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.

Catching Up!

Saturday, March 24, 2018 First day in the research lab! When I got in, the group was working on a gel electrophoresis of D. radiodurans bacteria. It was very cool to actually see the dyed DNA fragments moving through the gel once current was applied. Friday, March 30, 2018 On Friday, Mel went over how to use the micropipettes, and we spent some time practicing with water Eppendorf tubes. She also went over aseptic procedures associated with using the micropipettes to avoid contamination.  Saturday, March 31, 2018 On Saturday, we did a transformation! We introduced pGLO plasmid to E. coli HB101 competent cells. The pGLO plasmid contains Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP) which gives cells a green glow when the protein is produced.  We plated our new, modified bacteria and put the plates in the incubator to grow. Agar plates labeled and ready to go!

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...
