Phew!
Long long week! And sooooo tough for me because there's such a difference between undergraduate and postgraduate research. I'm used to sitting down and being talked at for 4 hours - now I just wander in whenever I feel like it and do whatever I fancy!! It's bizarre. The next couple of weeks I'm expected to just follow a few other members of the group around, see how things work, see the types of experiments and stuff I'll be doing. But to be honest I'm not much for doing that! I like direction, I like to know where I'm going, and what I need to do to get there - I'm so keen to get a plan together and really get my teeth into this project! If anyone's interested, my title is:
The Role of Keratin 15 in the Maintenance of the Epidermal Stem Cell Compartment
Sounds quite complicated doesn't it?! If anyone's remotely interested in what this means, just ask, I'll go into a little more detail! ![]()
Actually, that reminds me...I started my induction lectures today and there are a series of training courses on communicating science to the general public which I'm really keen to do - it includes working with teachers and school children too so I think I'd like to do that!
Here is a picture of a hair follicle...
Anyway, hope everyone else is keeping well...I've still been reading your blogs so I'm pretty sure you are! ![]()
