Summer research is almost done (even though it feels like it just started)! Juan is currently conducting his last experiments of the summer, working on his distinction in the field proposal, and the state of the project write-up. This summer has been so busy, and much has been done! Atomic force microscopy (AFM) has been used to image multiple samples, the usage of fluorescence to detect calcium has been explored and multiple fluorophores are used, experiments involving the fluorescence microscope have been tested, and the amount of collagen on the surface of the quartz crystal was calculated. With summer research coming to a close, Juan can’t wait for the first semester of his senior year to start!
