Taking Inventory & Making a Plan

Projects Touched Today

• lab notebook
• mussel experiment planning and design
• mussel pilot experiment

New Knowledge

• I created my February Goals Post with specific steps and strategies to complete them.
• I worked with KPJ for a 3-hour writing block where I collated and cleaned up about half of my lit notes to support the mussel experiment design choices.

Old Tricks

• Continued refining my literature support for the mussel experiment (second bullet point)
• Returned to mapping for the biomarker visualizations (from yesterday). I cleaned up the sampling site map, and went to work on the individual biomarker activity maps for p450 and sod but didn’t finish those today.

Word Count (Productivity)

A note on word count/ productivity: I do not include task- based writing, for example the recommendation letter and cleaning up my January notebooks posts, because those don’t directly move my work forward. I do count the resazurin post, because it was a synthesis of the work, a reflection on the results, and a plan for next steps.

Tomorrow’s Plan

• Will be made tomorrow to include resazurin analysis, editing and refining biomarker viz, and continuing experimental planning for my 2/11 meeting with Steven.
