S-STEM Scholar Marissa Heeb's Blog

This past week consisted of a lot more articles being read to get more background info on what I'm going to be working on with my project. I thought I hit a snag with my project but luckily other articles noted something similar. Last Tuesday I took the P. Fluorescens out of the -80 cooler and woke it up. Saturday I was able to add my bacteria to a broth and did some DNA isolation.

This past week I spent time doing a few gram stains and some aseptic technique during the beginning of the week. Saturday I proposed my research question to Dr. Tuohy. I was able to do some more reading in regards to my project. I'm super excited to get it started this next week.
