A little bit of independence (day 6)
While I was initially sad to be back to the oils lab today after being in the ELISA lab, I got to do a lot of independent work today. James showed me how to run the DSC (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Differential_scanning_calorimetry) with a couple of samples, then had me run a few. He was like "You probably should have made that look a bit more difficult. I'm going to set you up with a project that you will be running the rest of the week using this machine. Have fun!" So I have my own project! And it's not silage! Yay! I may end up with silage as my actual intern project yet, but I'm happy to find oil oxidation time on the DSC until then.
I was very pleasantly surprised when 3:20 rolled around and I found myself disappointed that I had 40 minutes until it was time to go. I could not believe it was that late already. But this is definitely a good sign :)
