It’s been a crazy week and a half.  Juan, my mentor, has shown me how to culture bacteria and mammalian cells.  We have then added flourscent dyes to use confocal microscopes to analyze different parts of these cells.  We have also worked on different dyes to get an understanding of what ultraviolet lights work of them.  I have reviewed the bacteria cell walls, organic chemistry,  mitosis and dna replication to get an idea of what is going on.  Still a lot to learn and beginning to do my experiments the next few weeks.
