For my project I am basically going to be growing bacteria that could potentially assist in finding the cure for cystic fibrosis. I have to make a very specific media (media meaning bacteria food) and then taking samples of sputum from a patient and see if any bacteria grows. Once the bacteria grows I have to test the amounts of ammonia the bacteria is producing. I'm testing this to see if a certain process happens inside the lung of a patients with cystic fibrosis. The rest of the information is a secret.
I need to use my lab skills and some math skills. I also need to make sure that I stay organized, it's important that I label everything with my name, date, and what it is or things could get very messy and confusing. Its also important that I take neat and efficient notes so I can look back at them later if needed. I need some support when working in the lab because I'm still trying to figure out how everything works, but I can learn that from my mentor and ask question to some other people in the lab. Hopefully everything works out well, i'm really excited about it!
