There's probably better ways to make friends, but I guess 20.109 will do

I guess spending 15-20 hours a week with someone will really bring you together (or make you hate each other, it really depends). Don't worry Grey team, I love ya guys.

Glad to say that regardless of how jaded we were by the time we got to Mod 3 (seriously, we named our Google Drive folder for this module "we almost out"), we still managed to laugh our way through the assignments (and not the maniacal variety, the normal/fun kind).

Getting through this research proposal at 11 pm in the Stud definitely was not the most enjoyable, but actually ideating and creating our proposal was super fun. It was weird to see how our seemingly outlandish ideas actually had scientific backing and how they came together to create a cohesive goal. Figuring out how to organize these ideas into a cohesive (and succinct) presentation was probably the hardest part. And when we finally thought we worked out all the details of our project, a question would come up that would raise another issue with our proposal. It honestly felt like patching up a boat that would hold up against the scrutiny of the 20.109 staff. 

I'm glad we did it though. Barring one last assignment, we can safely say that the 20.109 experience is behind us. As painful as it was at times (ouch that Mod 2 report), I think it really did make me a better scientific communicator and equipped me with the laboratory and research-specific skills that I didn't really have prior to this class.

Oh yea, and I guess I had some alright lab partners too (love you taro and smrits) that turned into some quality friendships. Sorry Noreen for putting you through our shenanigans all semester. As Prof Belcher so accurately described us, I guess we're the "party lab team" :)

No memes this time kids. Instead, enjoy this solid picture of our cute little virus batteries (the true lights of our lives). Also check out our instagrams for our coordinated 20.109 post that will be coming out soon, as we so promised Prof Belcher. 


In case you didn't believe me, we really do love each other (exhibit A included below).


I lied here's a meme.

Edit 4/18 (Forgot to put my name): Justin Liu Originally published 4/8 The Journal Club assignment marked my first time truly understanding a published journal article. Sure, previous UROP positions had required me to get some background information on the project by scanning a few papers. However, all I really did for those was scan the introduction and figures and then have my supervisor actually explain it to me. Thus, I was very unsure of what to expect for this presentation. Will other people care about my presentation? Will I be interested in the material? Will I even be able to understand it? It turns out that the answer to the second and third questions was yes, but I can't exactly speak for the first question. While working on creating the presentation, the most surprising thing was how much of the authors' data that I had to cut out. I felt very reluctant to leave out charts and data that I understood, and it took a lot of mental gymnastics to convince myself tha

The Journey of A Revision Begins With Office Hours

First major assignment of 20.109 is done, locked in the books. Looking back at it, the entire process from the initial draft to the revisions that were made couldn't have been possible without the availability of the staff and the time spent in office hours.  To the Comm Lab Fellows, thank you for meeting with us at a day's notice. For sitting down and break our abstract apart. For showing us what worked well and what didn't. For helping our abstract go from needs improvement to significantly improved. To Leslie, thank you for bearing with the hundreds of emails we sent your way. For patiently replying to us anytime and every time we needed tips and suggestions. For spending hours in office hours before the first draft was due. For meeting to go over last minute questions before the revision was due.  And to my lab partner, Tooba, thanks for sitting with me late into the night to tear apart our on work. For working with me to identify our weakness and create a s

The research proposal was a really great exercise in identifying a current problem and potential, feasible solution within a practical time period. While the other modules introduced and familiarized us to the actual lab work and etiquette needed to answer a research question, the goals, quality checks, and troubleshooting considerations weren't thought of by us. That being said, this research proposal was a more difficult assignment in many regards. Browsing through the discussion sections of numerous papers I was interested in gave me an idea of what a next step would be, but considering that I had no real expertise in any of those areas it was still difficult to identify what specific assays would be needed for those next steps. Because of this, I also had a hard time deciding on a general area for my topic. In this regard, listing 5 areas and then trying to blend them with my partners' helped us define a creative topic area that we could look more into. The timescale for
