TRAIN Scholar Annemarie Salvione's Blog

 Hi everyone,  I mostly worked on my final paper for this internship yesterday in the lab. With the help of Josh, I made some corrections that Dr. Chapman made to the comments she submitted on my rough draft submission. If I am lucky, I make the appropriate modifications suitable for what she is looking for. We have to hang on for a few more weeks, and this semester is over. Once I finish a few of these last assignments that are due, I can start looking into summer classes. As for this internship, I will submit the final research paper shortly. Hopefully, all of your assignments are going smoothly. 

 Hi everyone,  I worked on my final paper for this internship yesterday in the lab. With the help of Josh, I made some corrections that he suggested for my last submission. I still have a few more things to work on before finishing this assignment, but I have made some good progress and learned a lot, which is crucial. I am glad this semester is almost ending since it has been hectic. I am very grateful for all the opportunities I have had this year, and I am excited to see what else is in store this following semester. I hope everyone else projects is coming out nicely and as planned. 

 Hi everyone,  Today in the lab, I had to get several more samples of two bacteria under my gram-positive cocci: Staphylococcus aureus (SA) and Enterococcus faecalis (EF). I did three plates for each bacteria to be put in the incubator with no temp and three other samples of each bacteria to be placed in the incubator at 37 degrees. I uploaded photos of bacteria to the teachable machine as well. I had to learn to use this machine using images for gram-positive bacilli since I still don't have any for my gram-positive cocci. Hopefully, this week I will get some photos of colony formations for the samples I placed today so I can upload them into the machine learning.
