Week 1: Getting Started
Let me just say I’m excited for this project! On Monday I met up with my onsite adviser Professor Teresa Eaton. She gave me a tour of the lab and the STEM building. I got to see some computer science classes on the lower floor as well as chemistry and biology labs on the upper floors. Professor Eaton showed me a chemistry classroom which looked nothing like our school’s classes. Each desk is a lab bench. I also got to see the labs I would be working in as well as the machines I would get to use. On Tuesday, a former BASIS student took me on a tour of Embry Riddle. She showed me places like the library, the student union, the offices, and more! I got to see more of the campus and the buildings I can use while working there. I can’t start working in the lab yet. I need to take an online training course on lab safety, and then get trained in person. The plan is to complete the training by Monday then I can start working a little bit on the lab. It was difficult to do the training especially when the document keeps saying I don’t have permission to edit the form. I had to go in on Wednesday to get that technical issue fixed. It should be all fixed and I can complete the training. I have been reading up on the material and the training course. Hopefully I can complete the training by Monday. I like my project, and I’m really excited to see how it goes! I’m also excited to be in the lab! This seems like a fun project and I can’t wait to work more with Professor Eaton! I just need to finish up the training course and we are all set to get to the fun part!
