Week 7: Arina

This week, we got to listen to the first batch of presentations. It was really cool to learn about others’ projects: while I mainly knew who other people worked with in the clinic, I usually only heard about the clinical side of their experience in casual conversation. Many people did really exciting work! My presentation is scheduled for next week, so I am still working on it. 

In lab, this week we finished imaging, which means we can now transition into tissue work and analysis. I did some slicing of brain tissue from the cohort of mice we finished imaging last week, as well as made slides. I also got to shadow a couple of perfusions… but decided not to do any myself: we didn’t have any practice mice in this cohort, and my experience with perfusions is very limited, so I was worried about not being able to deliver a result that would be usable for our project. I also did more head plate surgeries for another project in the lab that Amelia and I were helping with.
