Hi all! Yesterday the biology department had a party and our lab was in charge of it! So, we had been preparing all week and the outcome was great! A few of my roommates even came to it. I've gotten pretty close to some of my roommates, and here is me and Tabea at the party! She's super awesome and I am so lucky to have her as a friend here in Germany!

Ups and Downs
So, work in the lab has been pleasantly successful! My experiments have ended well with at least some sort of product. However, I have had some pretty impressive failures as well! Failures so terrible I am actually proud of it XD One of my duties is to create phylogenetic trees and I have around ten plausible and good-looking trees. But, when I tried to concatenate the data I ended up with the worst phylogenetic tree I have ever seen. I am seriously debating getting it printed and framed. Take a look:

Gorgeous, isn't it?

Art is a universal language
This weekend I was fairly busy exploring Bielefeld a little more. Saturday I went to the Kunsthalle art gallery with a roommate which was showcasing pieces by Michael Majerus and Olaf Nicolai. And today I went to the kletterpark (climbing park) with coworkers in the lab! I am very thankful for all of the people in Bielefeld taking the time and showing me what makes this city great!

After One Week...
After one week of working in the lab I have already learned many new techniques and studied protocols for many others. I thought it would be useful to keep an updated list of new things I have done in the lab. This week I will be learning much more and I can't wait to share my new list with you next week.
