gmonkey42Finally. That only took me about a year longer than it should have. I wanted to get it to Dr. H. soon because he's doing some traveling later this month and he says it's a good time to give him things we need him to read so he can do it on the plane.
I'd been tinkering with it for a loooooong time. Finally my mum said I had to stop tinkering and just turn it in Monday and she'd call me Monday night to make sure I'd done it. Haha. It worked! I spent about 90 minutes finishing it up Monday then handed it in.
Next steps:
- build the biopsy punch v2.0.
- find a dead seal to test it on. Or if I can't, then a dead sea lion will do.
- make a report to the IACUC committee on the biopsy punch.
AND there's a grant I want to apply for, I need to get started on that today. Several people in my lab are also applying for it for their seal projects, unfortunately. And their theses are more conservation-related than mine (this organization doing the grant has kind of a conservation angle). BUT the good news is there isn't just one winner, they have a whole pot of money and you can start applying on Oct. 15 and they just keep giving out the grants to qualifying projects until the money runs out. I need to get my application in on or shortly after the 15th. Because I know my lab-mates are on the ball and will get theirs in soon.
