There are so many aspects of research that I never knew about. Every little step requires a very detailed thought out plan that must be performed meticulously. I was surprised by how long it took for me to actually get...

My research project is coming together fairly nicely. Recently in the lab I am finishing up all the big projects I have been working on all summer. I have compared and contrasted a couple things that help indicate whether the...
