Book 3: The Track of a Storm Day 45 (July 23, 2015)

So, my transformation didn't work. All my cloning steps were right though, so maybe the bacteria weren't that primed for transformation to start off with. I'm trying the same experiment and repeating transformation again, so hopefully we'll get some bacterial colonies growing...

Today was an absolutely beautiful day. Today and yesterday the temperature was not that hot and it wasn't that humid. Deborah and I took a walk outside and got some much needed fresh air and vitamin D.

I watched my mentor do a few more methods that I'll need to learn for next week. Other than that, I made at least 50 agar plates (for growing bacteria on) so our lab should be set for a while. I should maybe make some more for the rest of my lab before I leave. I'm starting to think about that now and it's a little sad.
