Today was pretty exciting. I did more UV spectroscopy as well as gas spectroscopy. I also learned about the columns used in size exclusion chromatography and how the different dimensions (length and width) affect the resolution and length of time it takes to analyze a sample. I really enjoyed practicing the things I learned previously and learning new information about the equipment in the lab.
Overall, I really enjoyed my first week at Lindy Biosciences. I have really enjoyed learning about all the different pieces of equipment and processes that are used in their lab. I also really like learning about the business and marketing side of research. Even though there are not many people at the company, I feel like I have been able to learn a lot about all the different parts of start-up companies as well as product development.
