What do you do to relax when you have a lazy day at home?
Netflix Talking to my family and friends I left back home. :(
What are you most excited about for 2021? Goals?
A huge pile of knowledge waiting for me regarding my studies and thesis.
Learn new things in lab and outside of lab. è Living independently as this is my first time living outside home and in a new country thousand miles away from home.
Meeting new people and making new friends (I don’t know how that’d happen in this situation.)
What techniques do you/will you most often use in your project?
Mostly Metabolic model construction and curation using Matlab and COBRA toolbox. Some wet lab experiences I’ve got so far (Such as Mutagenesis) and looking forward to a whole lot more.
What's one silly mistake you've made in the lab?
In the last experiment, I didn’t keep any control for my experiment. I have to do it now from the start. Good thing, It was a week long experiment, no a month long or more.
What are any current problems you are having with your research?
I am still at the very beginning stage of going through literature and stuff, so about problems I’d say “I’ll get back to you very soon”.
What did you hope to get out of grad school in the beginning compared to now? è I have just started my Grad studies. I still don’t know what to hope for me. I am suffering from imposter syndrome, that I can say. So No high hopes till now.
