AlianL

Today, we found out that @AlianL105 successfully cloned the first mutations in my lab (#1098 & #1099)! Now it's time for protein expression! Thanks for your help @plasmidsaurus @ApEplasmid @genewizeu #AGoodDayForScience #ResearchSuccess

@loraschemistry @lorascollege Ran mutagenesis PCR one last time just for the 819 mutation #ResearchSuccess

Research is hard, so it's important to celebrate every success, even the little ones. Here is a list of #ResearchSuccess @lorascollege today #LorasJTerm2022

@loraschemistry @lorascollege Can’t seem to figure out why the 819 mutation won’t grow colonies so we tried a new temp for annealing #ResearchFail

@loraschemistry the question you are trying to answer is completely wrong, but that’s ok because it’s more data to further your work.

@loraschemistry that you have to embrace being stupid when it comes to science since you are not going to know everything and being able to say you don’t know helps in seeking out help to be more efficient in lab. Research does not come with answers and sometimes through it you find out that...

Monday, during #LorasJTerm2020 Intensive Research, we discussed "The importance of stupidity in scientific research" (doi.org/10.1242/jcs.03…) and "How to Succeed in Science" (doi.org/10.1038/nrm2389). Below are some student reflections. #JTermDiscussion

@loraschemistry @lorascollege Hoping my inoculation technique for the cultures was on point since I showed bands 🤞🏽

@loraschemistry @lorascollege So many bands 😵‍💫 gonna mini prep tomorrow 😃#ResearchSuccess

@loraschemistry @lorascollege Wasn’t playing close attention and the first plate I was using the hockey stick on the wrong side…#ResearchFail

@loraschemistry @lorascollege Just another day of plating in hopes of colonies #ResearchSuccess

@loraschemistry @lorascollege Sent out our dna again for sequencing but this time for the whole thing to find if there are any mutations we don’t want #ResearchSuccess

@loraschemistry @lorascollege Accidentally sent out our dna for sequencing without showing Dr. Kehr our dinosaur 😶#ResearchFail

@loraschemistry issues in the first week she mentioned how that was the thing she disliked most since she felt like a week was wasted basically, but when speaking on what she liked about the project she enjoyed working on something as important as quantum dots and being able to learn new things.

@loraschemistry differences than similarities since she started with a lot of fails and spent a week trying to solve an issue that was holding up her research while I got very lucky and my first week I had results and did my PCR screening and shipped it out for sequencing. Going back to her...

This week, students in the #LorasJTerm2022 Intensive Research shadowed one another to see what someone else's #research day looks like. Below are their reflections. #JTermDiscussion
