ScientistMother said...: Cath - I think it'll feel awesome if I pass. Yes I know I need to work on that whole confidence thing

Alyssa - thanks!

GPD - When I first started in science, I used to love reading and thinking about science - it was what I was good at. Now that I'm in a lab where I've learned really good technique and am really good the bench stuff, its what I like to do. As I read, I"m thinking about experiments I should be doing and just want to do them and get the result to see if hypothesis is correct, if i'm on the right path etc..; May 11, 2010
