This week, I had to wrap up my lab experiments so I could plot my data and organize it for my poster presentation. The project’s approach kept evolving, even up to this week, which was challenging. Eventually, we pinpointed the concentrations to measure, allowing me to establish a control group for comparison.

I spent most of my time at my desk, plotting data and writing my abstract. I preferred doing this work at Fondren Library or a nearby coffee shop. Writing the abstract was quite enjoyable due to the strict character limit, which helped me reflect on the past eight weeks. This week, everything finally came together. Connecting the repetitive tasks from the past weeks to my results and conclusions was tricky, and while I don’t fully grasp how to interpret all my results, I’m satisfied with the progress and conclusions I’ve reached.
