I write this blog sitting on my mother’s couch in Atlanta, GA. Due to my transpacific flight to San Francisco, and a cancelled, then rebooked domestic flight to Atlanta, it took me over 24 hours to get back home. I had plenty of time to reflect on my summer, and to recap my experience while …
This has been one of the best weeks I’ve had in Kaohsiung. It was just great because of the laughs I had, new places I visited, and fears I not necessarily conquered, but did indeed confront. We officially completed amplifying and digesting DNA samples on Thursday, so Friday was free. Next week we will meet …
This week my lab group and I have outlined how we will divide portions of our paper and are reaching the last few of the high concentration DNA samples that we are responsible for analyzing. Next week, we also plan to reanalyze some troublesome samples. Depending on the strength of their signals under UV light …
I write this after an outing with my lab and Paula’s lab. Our two professors scheduled a volleyball and watermelon event to celebrate with us for independence day.

Customs that were once different, became second nature to me. Without realizing, I stand on the right side of the …
Taiwan has been a life changing journey. I would have to say though that my last week in Taiwan was an extremely hard one. Everyone in my lab was working on the completion of our research papers and power point presentation, that was taking place on Friday. The night before our presentation everyone in Dr. …
This title is recommended by CT (Cheng Ting), a fellow friend and lab mate. Hello friends and family, future MHIRT trainees, For my fifth and last blog post, I thought it would be fun to recap my experiences at our mini lab vacation at Lanyu Island this past weekend. We spent 3 days at the …
This final couple of days have been very eventful in terms of lab work. There has been a great deal of work to do in lab before we leave. I have been staying a bit longer trying to finish the last part of my project. Overall, it turned out good, I learned a lot. Before …
As the title states above, we are in the last week of our Taiwan adventure. I took advantage and decided to go to some places that was on my Taiwan bucket list. We had Friday off in my lab, so I decided to go to the zoo by myself. That was when I met a …
