Trouble-shooting experimental design is an every day task in the research lab. We are always trying to improve our experiments, optimize a parameter, or fine-tune the set up. Sometimes that aspect of research is the most fun! It can be even more exciting when experimental design means actually building an instrument (or a tiny part of a fluidic cell). If...

Ann-Lee is ready to ABSORB all this new chemistry knowledge through her time in research. In five weeks in the lab, she’s been researching mineralization of nanoparticles and DNA aptamers. She’s also been using a brand-new plate reader to track absorbance and will soon use gel electrophoresis and dynamic light scattering. Over the course of the summer, she...

Going with the flow! It’s already week 3 of summer research! Time moves fast when there are so many things to learn and so many experiments to run. Lana has jumped right into running QCM and collagen experiments and is quickly getting the hang of things. With a focus on dynamic mineralization, she has been trying out a new procedure that incorporates a...

With summer in full swing, Georgia has jumped back into research. She is currently exploring different methods to image her grids before they are sent off for TEM analysis. She’s particularly excited to be working with the fluorescence microscope again and appreciates the flexibility of her summer schedule, which allows her the time to do more...
