(mold on plastic 3)
Our plastic 3 is finally decontaminated after two PIA plate test showed possible mold growth. The final fix was boiling the alcohol treated plastic directly in the hood. Now tomorrow we can begin to co-incubate plastic 3 with the Pseudomonas and the TSB. Also tomorrow we are going to check the 7 day samples and possibly remove the plastics from the Pseudomonas. Completely unrelated but very interesting; I attended the tunnel of oppression here on campus yesterday. It was very emotional, eye opening , in your face, and informative. I recommenced everyone go out and see it because it is important and the different organizations have done an amazing job of conveying the challenges they and many others are facing. It is more then worth your time. I took my kids and they had so many questions and I hope that it will be that way for many people, It should provoke many questions, thoughts, and feelings. Go check it out next spring!
Maria,
ReplyDeleteI am really glad you saw the tunnel of oppression. I think it's really important for everyone to acknowledge how certain privileges in society make for others to be oppressed, marginalized, and discriminated against. These forms of oppression really impact peoples overall lived experiences and day to day interactions with people.
