Hello from the other side

It’s been way too long since I posted. Seems like I vanished in thin air. That’s one of the side effects of medical school. You step in and somehow you’re in one of the scenes from Interstellar where time seems to slow down and you’re stuck in a black hole of never ending exams, assignments, quizzes, course work and lab work.

I’ve recently been working most of the time. And currently writing a paper on mutations by yours truly ‘SARS CoV-2’

The last year went in a blur only because I was getting the hang of what it feels like to be surrounded by teenagers and going back to school. Med school is a lovely place to be. My semester results just came out last week. I’m still first in class (first twice since the last year) but I’ve got a B too, this time. So there goes my straight A result. *poof*

I’m currently doing an internship at one of the largest Edible Oil companies. And I get to do all sorts of chemistry and bio magic! Look at this fancy bacteria I isolated from a ketchup sample. I think it’s Staphylococcus aureus.

S. aureus

Also, I recorded some of the tests that I had been doing in the lab

Preparation of Peptone Buffer
Analysis of free fatty acids
Analysis of amount of oxygen in the oil
