Today was my second day at RTI International and I stated the day off with a meeting with around 25 RTI employees from around the country to discuss and strategize about global health. Everyone discussed what they did at RTI and the different projects they have worked on, and it was very interesting to hear all the different things RTI covers from biostatistics to epidemiology. After they explained what every section did and what they were currently working on, the group discussed different foundations and grants. Since RTI is a non profit they rely on government spending and grants. This was an all day meeting, however, I left after this part since I was going to do work in the lab. After I ate lunch I went to the lab and pipetted different buffer solutions that would later be sent to a lab to analyze. I pipetted 2 ml of each solutions into a 2 ml vile using an 1000 micro liter pipettor. Over all, it was a great day having been able to sit in on a meeting and do lab work!!
