Lab Meeting
This week in lab I am presenting for lab meeting. Basicly, I ramble on about my weak conclusions based on weak data. That’s a little harsh, but nothing breaks down my confidence like having to tell somebody what I am up to. Especialy when they know more on the subject than I do. I am talking about MRI of course. When you are standing in a darkened room talking to a screen you can almost sense that your advisor really wants to correct you, but doesn’t want to embarass you in front of your lab mates. All in all it went pretty well.
What you are seeing is an array of bacterial cultures after being exposed to Manganese. The second top row is Mn in solution. What I am getting from this image is that Mn in a cell interacts with water much differently than when in a pure solution. There is a lot more to this image than just that, but that’s the gist of it. Next I will be putting my Mn binder through the paces and seeing how it compares to control cells.
