So far this is my 3rd day at UNC. I have seen quite a few very interesting things in the lab. Some of the things I have seen are how centrioles make spindle fibers which are used to help embryo’s divide. Many of the things that I have seen will be visually interesting to my students. We were able to take some cool images of flatworm embryos as they divide. This would grab my students’ attention. I also spoke with another scientist who studies genetics and biotechnology and that was spot on for what I wanted to do. The challenge that I would see coming from this is, it is over my students’ head. Some of the things I heard either made me dig back into my memory to remember or I had to ask for a reminder.
