Thank the LORD!!!
My PI gave me the opportunity to present at lab meeting today. While she meant no harm, it felt like I was being tested! I pulled an “almost all nighter” getting a 2-3 hour nap in between work shifts and it was felt great!! I felt like I was back in undergrad only thing missing was Agnes Scott College’s Science Building 2nd Floor!!
It felt like a normal day back at ASC. Procrastination to the max… except this time around I didn’t procrastinate, I started working on my presentation during Thanksgiving!!
I am glad its over!
My experience: it was nerve whrecking! My research on Marfan’s sydrome and metabolism is taking interesting turns. Frustrating at times. Sometimes there is a phenotype and sometimes there isn’t. Sometimes I see a phenotype I did not expect! So having to put all that together and making a story out of it is difficult.
I am so lucky to have the mentor that I do, who helps me along the way! I can only hope that she was this nervous when she had to give her first scientific presentation to a room full of scientists!
Living the scientific life!
