Lessons Learned

Posted by Lisa Grossman on 2009-08-22

What a roller coaster ride! Here’s a couple lessons I learned this summer…

- If you don’t want to contaminate your cell cultures, spray everything perpetually with ethanol.
- What exactly defines a cancer.
- Why the cold room has a hole in the side.
- How to work a FACS machine (no, NOT a fax machine)
- Why not everybody gets mono during their teenage years

This list could go on and on forever, but you might get pretty bored: I’ve learned a lot. I’ve really enjoyed this summer: my lab was wonderful, the people fun, and the program stimulating. There’s not really anymore to say except: I’m glad I did it.

Until the next time I blog,

Lisa
