Finale

Welcome back everyone. It seems like I had only just started researching down at the lab, but it has finally come to an end. This week was the final week at my internship and I am sad to see it come to an end. Thankfully, I was successful in my endeavors to synthesis a thermostable DNA polymerase, in this case pfu,  but there was still so much more I could have done with it. Creating the pfu was only the first step, there was still so much more testing I could have done, whether it be comparing it to an actual company made pfu or figuring out more specifics for my pfu. Nonetheless, I still succeeded and had fun.

Nothing terribly exciting happened this week. I worked more on my presentation, constantly changing little things hear and there, but for the most part, it is done (glad to have that off my shoulders). Other than me continually presenting, nothing else really happened. There was one event of interest though. I finally gave someone else in the lab a sample of my pfu for them to test in their own experiment. Unfortunately, I was not able to hear how well it performed before I left; I hope it worked well for them.

But, it is with a heavy heart that I say this blog and my project are nearing their ends. Thank you all for reading up until this point, if you have just found this blog, I hope you find it interesting! And with that, I bid you all farewell.
