💡HERE to help with data presentation: - using bar graphs, we lose information about the dispersion of data - there can be situations that outliers are skewing the means accompanied with different distribution between tested groups of samples - a better option is to use dot plots or bar graphs with overlapping dots to not lose dispertion information - look at the example on next picture - a good source for data visualization is this page on GitHub “Friends dont let friends make bad graphs” by Chenxin Li, check it out 🎉 #phd #phdstudent #phdstudentlife #phdmemes #phdstudentproblems #phdstudentmemes #gradstudent #gradstudentproblems #gradstudentproblems #undergradresearch #undergrad #undergradinthelab #phdinthelab #lablife #labproblems #phdjourney #dontgiveup #learningjourney #scienceproblems #sciencememes #sciencelovers #phdtips #researchtips #datavisual #bargraph #dotplot #datavisualisations #scienceeducation #researcheducation

We often goes to flower market just to buy flowers that are the "prettiest", but we wouldn't try to see what makes those flowers beautiful. in lab we dissected flowers and ovaries, examined under microscope and see those patterns. Those features such as adhesion of different floral parts are difficult that I got mistakes often (and got breakdown for for while lol), But it is fun to learn them one by one (and huge respect to botanists who study morphology in such detail🫡🫡🫡) pic 1&2 Ginkgo seeds （白果） pic 3 Chinese Juniper （龍柏）in campus pic 4 Japanese Cypress （扁柏）in lab pic 5&6 Cross section of flower carpel.

Experiment 1 in the books for General Botany #ECSU. Tests for macromolecules (different carbohydrates, lipid, protein) 🧪⚗️. First time working in their lab groups (I decide; as diverse as possible). Have to learn cooperation (to complete experiments and write lab reports) #hbcuexcellence #undergradinthelab #ECSUVikingsScience

Spent the last two weeks of sophomore General Botany labs on GLP, conversions, solution chemistry problems ⚗️, pH, and pipettes #ECSU. Let the experiments begin now ....🧪🔬🧫🌱🪴 #undergradinthelab #newsemester #ECSUVikingsScience

🧫Students in #MIP150: Intro to Research Methods concluded the semester with a poster session showcasing their research, identifying antibiotic-producing #SoilMicrobes that can combat ESKAPE pathogens. ESKAPE pathogens are 6 highly virulent and antibiotic-resistant #Bacteria with increasing multi-drug resistance, often causing life-threatening infections in hospitals. Developing new #Antibiotics is of great #OneHealth importance!🦠 This fall section was taught by #MIP associate professor Claudia Gentry Weeks and graduate teaching assistant Emily Layer. #UndergraduaterResearch #UndergradInTheLab #AntibioticResistance #ESKAPE #Pathogens #HumanHealth #AnimalHealth #Microbiology #InfectiousDisease #MID #CSUResearch

CURE completed in Molecular Biology #ECSU. More meristemoids and emerging tobacco shoots (after 6 weeks 🧬🧫🌱) on medium containing exogenous added tyrosine. Agro containing RUBYRED plasmid @atinygreencell. Also had more Agro overgrowth with strain AGL-1 vs. GV3101 with meropenem. Next steps: diff conc of tyrosine, and meropenem #hbcuexcellence #undergradinthelab

Undergrad research students #ECSU tried to place ex vitro cotyledons of Wisconsin Fast Plants @fastplants into culture 🌱🧫 (easier to cut). All bleached. They looked at different bleach concentrations and times. I also tried over the summer. Still 100% bleaching. 😥 We finally considered the new vs older varieties [new has purple stigmas (easier to pollinate) vs. green]. Viola 📣📣👀👀, all the cotyledons from seeds that would produce purple stigmas are bleaching (top plate). Interesting phenomenon!! Unto the next steps.... #puzzled #undergradinthelab

CURE completed in General Botany #ECSU. Lower concentration of zeatin gave better results from tomato 🍅 leaves 🧫🌱. Lots of shoots regenerated after 6 weeks 🪴. Thanks to Dr. Adedeji for SEM 🔬pictures #hbcuexcellence #undergradinthelab

Welcome to Aron S., our new #undergradresearcher. If a student asks to do plant research 🧬🧫🌱🪴, it will be a 👍🏼👍🏼😊 with me. Also Cupcake 🧁 Thursday (had to take a picture 📸 of the lab group). #ECSU #undergradinthelab #hbcuexcellence

Finally acclimatized some of the tobacco plants that were transformed with Agrobacterium containing the plasmid RUBYRED (@atinygreencell). Came from last semester's CURE in Molecular Biology #ECSU. Different phenotypes observed. Controls (tissue cultured but non Agro treated) for comparison. Next step: PCR. #undergradinthelab #hbcuexcellence #Iamabotanist

A major expt. completed in Molecular Biology #ECSU. Primers designed for gfp gene in pGLO also used to amplify bfp gene in pAe-Blue (bonus assignment). Would it work😕? 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼. Controls showed no contamination 👍🏼. Students also did RE digestions of both plasmids. What is missing from the gel? (Possible exam question 🤣🤣). #hbcuexcellence #undergradinthelab

Good to have undergrad experiments that reflect real-world experiences. Some of the tobacco explants that were inoculated with Agrobacterium (with RUBYRED) are showing overgrowth #ECSU. Had to pivot quickly. Students had to wash again and replate on fresh selection media +/- tyrosine. 🤞this is sufficient. Controls are doing great after 2 weeks. Lots of meristemoids and emerging shoots 👌. #hbcuexcellence #undergradinthelab

CURE set up in Molecular Biology #ECSU. Undergrads did a lit search on the amino acid possibly affected by betalain after plasmid RUBYRED entry @atinygreencell; also searched for conc that is used in plant tissue culture. Looking at the effects of exogenous added tyrosine on tobacco leaf 🍃 transformation 🧬. 🤞🔴 results in 6 weeks. #hbcuexcellence #undergradinthelab #Iamabotanist

Experiments continuing in General Botany #ECSU. Looked at effects of conc. salt and sucrose on % plasmolysis in red onion epidermal cells. Discussion question on how plants are affected by brine used on icy roads; and sea level changes @biointeractive . Also, vascular bundle arrangements in monocot and dicot stems #hbcuexcellence #undergradinthelab #Iamabotanist

CURE (course-based undergraduate research experience) set up in General Botany #ECSU. Undergrads decided on another zeatin conc. Will compare with that of a journal article. Looking at the effects on shoot regeneration in tomato 🍅 leaf explants. They also made own bleach + SDS solutions. 🤞on new meristemoids and shoots in six weeks. Thanks to Ms. Perry and Mr. Dia for assistance. #hbcuexcellence #undergradinthelab #Iamabotanist

Experiments back on track in Molecular Biology #ECSU (yours truly was a bit 🤒). Students streaked, inoculated, and extracted two plasmid DNA (+/- sugars in media). #undergradinthelab. New plasmid with blue fp (match university colors - 😊 @atinygreencell). Some fun also with #agarart. #hbcuexcellence

First experiment on testing for macromolecules in General Botany #ECSU. Water used as a control; and an unknown solution. Students could also bring in a liquid to be tested. One of the most colorful labs 🎨. Discussion will have some chemistry 🧪⚛️. #hbcuexcellence #undergradinthelab #Iamabotanist

If Only Choosing a Career Path Was This Easy Undergrad In The Lab @youinthelab Not knowing exactly what you want to do with your life doesn't mean that you're doomed to fail in your career path. If you're struggling to answer questions such as, "Should I choose medical school? Graduate School? Pursue an MD-PhD?" or "What I can use my undergrad degree to do if I don't want pursue another degree?" or "What if I'm already set on a path is it too late to change my mind?," know that you're not the only one. You have more options than you think! If you're feeling overwhelmed by the scope of what you *could* do know that you're not alone--this is a common feeling and we've had more conversations than we can count. We recommend starting here: #UndergradInTheLab https://undergradinthelab.com/node/168

If you commented “email” on my prior post about undergrad research experience, here it is! When emailing faculty you want to be: ✅respectful ✅interested ✅certain You do not want to come off as: ❌entitled ❌standoff-ish ❌uninterested There are many ways you can write this email & this is just one of many. I chose to keep it short and to the point, but also indicate interest in research and the research topic of the faculty member. Adding in a personal detail about why you like research or their topic of research can help you really stand out! What other questions do you have about research? 👇🏼 #phd #phdlife #phdstudent #phdstudentlife #phdstudentsofinstagram #gradschoolblogger #gradschool #gradschoollife #research #researchlife #undergradresearch #undergradinthelab #researchhowto #stem #phdhelp #science #scicomm #researchtips #undergraduate #undergraduates #researcher
