Week 4

I start the day by getting situated at my usual desk in Dr. Vaidyanathan’s office. In the time I have before I dive into my lab work, I like to lay out my schedule and to-dos for the day in...

For this past week, I have been listening to my peers present chalk talks on theirs works, providing me with insight into other areas of biological research. Of these projects, Sweta Kafle's  phenotypic analysis of transgenerational seed stability in Arabidopsis thaliana...

This past week, everyone had the opportunity to present their project to the other BSURFers through a chalk talk. I found Julia's talk particularly interesting, as her work on Oxidative Stress relates to what I am working on in the...

  I enjoyed being able to here about the various research projects going on by my fellow B-Surfers. It was interesting hearing the different problems/questions posed and seeing the ways and which these research questions were being answered. I found...

My week was highlighted by great chalk talks from every member of the BSURF program. I definitely learned a lot about various topics and projects. Further, these chalk talks spark my interest in new subjects and has gotten me talking...

As interesting as it was to hear about everyone's projects and learn a thing or two from each one, I think we're all pretty glad that's over with. For now, anyway. Hopefully, the posters will be easier since we'll have...

Thank you my fellow BSURFers for sharing your projects this past week during the Chalk Talks. It was interesting to see the wide range of research going on this summer and learn about the different topics and techniques used in...

This week, everyone presented their chalk talks about their projects. It was fun and interesting to see what everyone was working on! I liked that a lot of the same areas of interest and methods (e.g. epigenetics, use of gRNA,...

I would like to start this post off by saying that all of the chalk talks given this past week were absolutely amazing! They all dived into complex topics like genetics and neurobiology in a simple way that made understanding...

The entirety of this past week’s BSURF meetings were dedicated to giving Chalk Talks, giving everyone in BSURF an opportunity to learn about and engage with each other’s research. My eyes were opened to the range of topics being investigated....

My work in the Perfect Lab varies from day to day. The day may start with me immediately working because at this point I know what I'm expected to do. Nevertheless, on days where I have no idea what I'm...

Thank you to everyone for sharing their projects this week! It felt like looking through a kaleidoscope: so many different colors, angles, combinations in biology and in people’s attempts to understand life. One thing I learned from all of your...

This past week, I listened to multiple people talk about their amazing projects. From using CRISPR/Cas9 to alleviate symptoms of muscular dystrophy to stress between male baboons, I have thoroughly enjoyed hearing about the research my peers are doing. The...
