Week 4 Report from the Lab Team
Posted By: Peter_Jaksa, Dr. Hawke on Wednesday, November 01, 2006
Hello again fellow Polar Scientists!
I am very excited to tell you about the progress I have made in the last few weeks. As Jesse and Sophia described, we have had our fair share of obstacles, but we have learned to become very skilled at cryosectioning. In my last update I briefly described the process of immunohistochemistry that I will be using to study muscle stem cell number and distribution in Weddell seals.
Read this week's update in the Expedition News focus area to learn about my practice experiment in immunohistochemistry!
If you have any questions, go to the Messages area and send them to Dr. Hawke's team.
Now it's your turn! Report back to the Lab Team. Scientists often need to adjust their experiments in order to get the best results. Write an entry in your blog describing the procedure you used for one of the Polar Science investigations you have done in class.
