Fall 2019: Finals week

Here we are, we have arrived at finals week. I just want to say good luck on all of your exams and papers. Well I heard we are having a get together this Tuesday afternoon (12/10) and I hope that I get to see my fellow cohorts before winter break. Please come if you can. In other news I have a ton of work to do for my project, so I’ll be busy typing and organizing some data. If I don’t see you before the break, enjoy your break and happy holidays! Hope to see you next semester!

Fall 2019: Pictures of OCC and Scholarships

So I have been extremely busy these past couple of weeks applying for scholarships. It has been extremely draining but necessary. The trip to Oak Creek Canyon was a much needed relief. The weather was beautiful and other than crossing the creek the hike was easy. We were lucky enough to see a tarantula again but other than that there was not much wildlife to be seen. If you get the chance it is worth going.

Fall 2019: Return to Oak Creek

So tomorrow were taking a field trip up to Oak Creek Canyon to survey the flora and fauna. The PC TRAIN scholars have done this in the past and it was so much fun. It is amazingly beautiful up there. I'll be sure to post pictures next week. This week I'm mostly applying to as many scholarships as possible so I have been pretty busy. Hope to see you all in the lab!

Fall 2019: STEAM DAY

Today was STEAM DAY at Phoenix college and it was wonderful! I was only able to attend for 30 minutes during the day but I did return in the evening with my kids. We had a great time. I got to see some of my lovely cohorts and their projects. Thanks guys for taking the time to show me what you're working on 😊 . Sammy if you are reading this! I swear we gotta catch up soon, I didn't even get to see your presentation 😞 . I can't wait for the next STEAM DAY event.

Fall 2019: Bioscience conference

Tomorrow is the bioscience Southwest conference at ASU main campus. I have had the pleasure of attending their last conference and I really enjoyed it. Unfortunately I have nothing to present from my work this semester but I can tag along with Dr. Cotter´s group. I hope to see lots of my cohorts there. I should have time in the morning to work on some of my app but there is also the HERMANAS workshop tomorrow. If anyone has time it is from 9-1 in the C building and it is a great opportunity for outreach where you can work with middle school aged girls in STEM type workshops.  

Fall 2019: Mixer

Hi guys! I'm officially sick so this week has been rough. I did get stuff done on the bat front and on some issues with an app I'm working on. I'm just so glad that midterms and homecoming is over, now I can get so much more done. I am attending the bioscience conference at ASU next week and I'll let you know how that goes. I'm sure it will be as great as the last one. Today I am attending the mixer at ASU west, I am so excited to see all of my cohorts! Have a good weekend!

Fall 2019: So so busy

So once again, I have accomplished close to nothing when it comes to my project. I have been busy with all of the homecoming festivities. Today was the food day event. It went well, I helped with Garden Clubs table and Honors table. I had the chance to buy a bowl made by PC students or staff. I was even fed lunch. Overall the event went great. I even bid on a couple of items, didn't win but it was fun anyway.  Remember guys, tomorrow is crazy sock day at PC! Well tomorrow you can find me in the lab working hard in my crazy socks.
