Thank you to our endlessly patient mentors at @ESA__Education, @Cambridge_Uni (@t_n_kohler, @pcicuta) & @WarwickLifeSci who have given us so much of their expertise and time. Your passion for science has kept us excited & hungry for more knowledge! ๐ฅผ๐ฌ
โ Experiment week
After nearly 2 yrs of work, last week we completed our experiments with the Large Diameter Centrifuge. We had an exciting & challenging time from which we all learnt a lot - now onto analysing our data ๐ง #spinYourThesis#ESAAcademy
Day 2 โ
Today we made some vesicles, tinkered with reagents, & did some experiment runs in the LDC! Here is a video of the centrifuge at one of the lower speeds... ๐คฏ #spinYourThesis
Day 1 โ
Today we mixed solutions for the experiment, tweaked some code for our remote controlled glucose pump, & tested out the reaction under the microscope ๐ฌ
Some planning to do this evening, but excited to return tomorrow! #spinYourThesis#ESAAcademy
Design, test, tweak, repeat...
Our microfluidic traps are designed to hold GUVs in place so we can properly image them ๐ฌ here's one of our 1st designs... (1/2)
Are you interested in #hypergravity experiments? Are you a researcher & supervisor? We are eager to receive your application for #HyperGES opportunity offered by #UNOOSA & @esa under #AccSpace4All. Deadline is 28 February 2022!
