Today we skyped with Dr. Kwong. She is in a residency program at the Med Star Hospital in Washington, D.C. for general surgery and intends to go into a fellowship for surgical oncology. She answered our questions about cancer, immunotherapy, surgery, and becoming a doctor.
We also learned some basic suturing techniques so that we can close up our rabbits. We practiced suturing on some bananas.
After lunch, we observed our bacteria colonies to determine if our experiment was successful. The bacteria on the plate with ampicillin and arabinose plate fluoresced under a black light. This indicated that our experiment was successful. Additionally, we had borrowed the products of another group’s ligation reaction after we messed up our own. The two groups saw similar results on their plate from tube 3 (the tube that contained material from the other group).
