September 2018 Goals

T-24 days until classes…

It’s peak grind time.

August Goals Recap:

Manchester:

  • I addressed all comments from Sam and Laura, and all minor comments from both reviewers and George.
  • I’m almost done revising my discussion, which is the last step for reviewer comments

Gigas Broodstock:

  • I tested the DNA extraction protocol with the Genome Sciences Thermomixer a BUNCH and it didn’t really work (trial 1, trial 2, trial 3).
  • Drafted a plan for successful extractions without the Thermomixer! Hopefully that protocol will be successful

Virginica:

  • Nothing got done. Reviewer comments and protocol testing consumed my life.
