Luke is new to the GRAB Lab team this Fall, learning the ways of DNA origami, and getting started on his own experiments. This week, Luke redid a gel electrophoresis experiment that didn’t come out well from last week. Luke likes research so far because it’s nice to be able to actually run through an entire experiment by yourself and to independently...

Senior year is flying by, but Moji is keeping up with her research. She is continuing her investigation of the origin of fluorescence in polymeric carbon dots. Building on her summer findings, she is now approaching the next step in the purification method. Instead of dialysis, Moji is using spin filters to separate all of her three pH samples. It is a...
