Today I took the afternoon off to go visit UNO for the Biology Department's second annual Graduate Research Symposium.
http://avalon.unomaha.edu/biology/symposium.php
Even though I'm still early in my studies I was able to understand alot of what was talked about. For example, there was some discussion of DNA and RNA and nucleotides, and use of electrophoresis in some of the research and I knew the basics of that from my Biology I class at Metro.
I took a few notes on some things I wanted to look up, that I didn't understand, that I will post here later.
