It’s been forever since I last updated my blog! I am
apparently not too good at it. It is definitely something I need to get better
at! So much has happened since last year!
A quick recap since my last blog!
Christmas: Fortunate for me, the holiday season was not so
lonely. Thanks to the wonderful Holiday parties that were thrown by my Lab.
Delicious food, great people, and biology jokes what else could I have asked
for! On top of that, I received a very generous Christmas gift from my PI :D
New Years: My cousin Nageen finally came back from spending
the semester in Australia! She turned 21 on Christmas and we weren’t able to
celebrate. So I went to Atlanta to spend time with her and make her 21st
birthday memorable. Ofcourse, I also had another reason to go down to Atlanta,
my friend Madison, who is spending the year in Guyana teach Math with the World
Teach program, was coming back to Atlanta for a few days! And lastly, I can’t
forget my best friend from high school, Farzeen! It had been a while since we
caught up and it seemed like the perfect time. What better timing than to spend
the new years with my 3 closest girl friends, Nageen, Madison, and Farzeen!
Work: Since I’ve come back from new years, work has been
busy! I received my own project along with helping with other projects. As much
as I truly enjoy doing research, these experiences are teaching me as to how frustrating
it can be. One of the frustrations that I have come across is technology
malfunctioning. You can’t trust your data, if you can’t trust the technology
that is supposed to give you the data. As scientists, we put so much trust into
our state of the art technology that a little shift in parameters or scale
throws data off completely. The question
is, where would we be without technology in scientific discovery? And to a
certain extent, is technology hindering us?
I shall definitely try to be better at blogging. Things at
work are getting more exciting and the new city is full of new experiences and
new friendships!
