Week 7-Mary Clare

My last week of Immersion Term was a bit more rushed than anticipated. I spent the first half of my week in Florida taking care of some unexpected family business. Due to these events I was not able to see cardiothoracic surgery. However while I was gone, the longer time point of my research project was running. The last two days of my immersion experience were spent trying to wrap up all the analysis for my study. This involved extracting, isolating, and analyzing RNA from my samples. Although our findings were interesting, I think there is still a lot of follow up work to be done before the study has conclusive findings.
