Book 3: The Track of a Storm Day 52 (July 30, 2015)

Finished my western blot and the results turned out as expected, but the blot showed up quite nicely during imaging!

It rained today in the typical DC rain fashion. Lesley also mentioned that the weather forecast predicted pea-sized hail. I don't know if there was any hail because I stayed in the whole time, but the sky turned crazy dark smoky grey-blue, thunder was ka-booming, lightning sizzling, and because I was indoors, safe, and dry, I loved watching the window blur completely with the sheets of rain that poured down.

As Lesley, Danielle, Catherine, Deborah, and I were just sitting there, watching the storm for the 30 or so minutes that it lasted for, Danielle mentioned the Studio C skit "Five Day Weather Forecast." Studio C is a comedy group from Brigham Young University. Which, coincidentally, is where Deborah is from and she actually knows Scott Sterling in person! Danielle's son, Jonathan, is absolutely obsessed with him and Studio C, and I watched several episodes of Studio C in the past, before junior year got too busy. Connections in the oddest places. It's definitely a small world. Still, how cool is that?!

I started and finished the paper that Danielle is working on fixing up before it gets published in print! I still have a paper to read for journal club, and I'll be presenting that on Monday. Data for my experiments are slowly rolling in and I need a poster made and printed by Thursday...I'm definitely cutting it close but I'll pull through.
