Big Day Number One!

Yesterday i was able to give my presentation - i'm done! The acummulation of six weeks worth of hard work has resulted in 29 powerpoint slides, one poster and 20 minutes of talking. Mia and i decided that our goal was to know our info so well that we could do the whole presentation without notes. We succeeded! We can now resite the whole presentation without slides even - "Hi, I'm Mia Edgar and I'm Laura Anderson. We had the chance to work with Dr. Shountz with his study of bats as reservoirs of infectious diseases. We also we able to be the first people to clone immune-related genes from a bat species." That's the first slide. I'm so glad that's over.
We wanted to make Millicent proud as she went above and beyond to help us in so many ways. She's incredible.
Tommorrow is the Open House. I'm so excited. Then, soon i'm coming home. I miss y'all. Love ya.
