Today was a good start to my second week here at Penn. This morning, we had guest speakers from the Philadelphia medical examiner's office, and they gave powerpoint presentations on the type of work they do. Gary Collins and Steve O explained how they determine types of death, and the various procedures they take when someone dies within the city limits. On Thursday, they will return to tell us in detail how an autopsy is performed. Although some of the presentation was really gruesome, it was ascinating as well (like real life CSI!). Haha!
In the afternoon, we continued a lab to transform a bacteria called E.coli. Tomorrow, we will get our results, and hopefully we will have successfully transformed the bacteria and have made them antibiotic resistant.
I'll blog some more later, the internet is having problems again.
