The first month of our time at Rice is over, and it does not seems like a month has pass. I have been working so hard in learning all the techniques and developing my project that time has just flyby. I have learned about the use of different instruments, different techniques when platting, ways to analyze DNA, and how to prepare agar. This week I started discussing with my mentor, the analyzes that my project was missing. Next week we will further discuss the topic, and start the writing of my report.

In the weekend, I had the chance to get to know my friends from the NEWT program better. Tensae, Evelyn and I, decided to take the metro and go to explore the city. I am glad to say that I will not only get an amazing learning experience out of this program, but also awesome friends.
