When most people think about scientific research, they envision a mad scientist working for days without seeing another human being. At least that is how I saw scientific research! However, through this lab I have discovered just the opposite. Now, one could attempt to do everything alone…and it would probably work. However, it would be ten times harder. Jade and I are on the same step in this purification process, and it makes the whole process more enjoyable. In fact, I am learning even more about what I am doing, because I can always compare my results with her results, and see how our phages differ. It is truly exciting to be able to work through an experiment like this with someone else.
