I largely anticipated the way this week played on Monday, with a few important exceptions. I did end up determining the regulation status of 11 transposable element families in all the mops and now have some very cool data showing the very surprising differences and similarities between these three mediators.
However, today I was working on combining all this data into one powerpoint slide for a lab meeting, and I was interrupted by a call in which Mario basically told me to go take his place at a seminar being held at the Mariott. The formal name of the meeting was IGERT which stands for Integrative Graduate Education and Research Traineeship, and it is a nationwide program. I unknowingly sat next to one of the presenters whose name is Noah Whiteman, and after a full day of chatting, powerpoints, and incredible free food, he said he would not mind putting in a good word for me for a selective summer program at the Rocky Mountain Biological Laboratory where he works during the summer before my sophomore year of college. Hurray for networking!
