The final week of the immersion experience mostly revolved around preparing for the final presentation. Despite it being short, I still had to sit down and sort through a lot of background, as well as make sure I understood certain concepts I had limited prior exposure to well enough to be able to explain them to others. In terms of lab work, we got to see more imaging - but this time, with prisms instead of cranial windows. I haven't seen prism microscopy before, and I had no idea just how much better the resolution was. Going forward, the project still needs some optimization in terms of image analysis in suite2p, as well as further statistical analysis.
Reflecting back on the entire experience, I can confidently say I learned a lot. The condensed timeline of a project was sometimes challenging - it's always a little difficult to dive into something new and try to get a grasp of it in just eight weeks, but it pushed me to learn that much quicker. It was also a nice refresher for some of the techniques I've used a while back.
