November Goals
Let’s set some goals for the month of November (note, I’ll be out on vacation for a few days this month over the Thanksgiving holiday)
Register, plan for, and present at GSS (will be on undergrad work, not Roberts lab stuff)
Read 2 project-relevant papers a week (8 total)
Cod project: Send samples out for RNA sequencing (don’t need any sample prep, just find and send
Coral project: Identify short RNA’s for Porites evermanni and Pocillopora meandrina
Reviewing October Goals
✓ Successfully run a blast search in Raven. Completed! I was able to run through Steven’s full code for blasting and annotating a cod transcriptome, and I’ll hopefully be able to glean enough from his code to understand how to write my own in the future.
✗ Read up on the cod temperature/growth project. Not yet 😕.
✓ Read up on E5 coral project and start to get settled in it. Getting there! I’ve started reading up on ncRNAs and, while I had to miss the last two meetings of the E5 group because of a midterm and a function required for one of my scholarships, I’ll be meeting with the working group tomorrow morning.
✓ Get registered for SICB. Completed!
