Wheels up!

Hey hey everyone! My name is Amarea Witt, I am almost 22 years old and about to finish my undergraduate degree at the University of Wisconsin River Falls. Welcome to my Blog! I'll be using this to keep you all updated over these next couple of weeks, as I embark on my journey to the other side of the world to Taiwan. I hope you are all just as excited as me to learn more about a country rich in culture, and hear of the research me and my cohorts conduct as we search for a cure for heart failure. We take off on Thursday December 26th at 11:25 am and land on Friday December 27th in Taipei at 10:45 pm. I'll be back soon, with tons of photos to share. Until next time, byeee.

Thin Layer Chromatography results

We started with running thin layer chromatography of every single sample we collected from the day before during the medium pressure liquid chromatography. We had 52 tubes of samples, but not every tube was filled with enough product to run a TLC. This first TLC depicted is our 1st tube being ran on normal phase plates, instead of the reverse phase plates we used previously. As you continue to look down this page you will see that our numbers bounce around, and some numbers are skipped, because there wasn't enough to test it. We started off with only placing 1 collection of compounds on each plate, to doing two different compounds, and realizing due to our graph from yesterday that a lot of our compounds have kind of stuck together. So, we have a great deal of compounds that look similar and in order to tell we need bigger plates. We moved to doing 5 or 6 different solutions on a plate, which was nice because it allowed us to complete it faster. Once we had the visual of what com

Taipei Zoo | Chocolate shakes

Just like before, we went to the lab to analyze our zebra fish embryos. The last time we were in the lab, we treated each grouping of fish with a different chemical. I do not know what each chemical was intended to do, but we analyzed the fish by categorizing each embryos into the certain stages of heart failure. The other group wasn't as lucky as a lot of their embryos were dead. After we finished up our analysis, we were off to see Taipei 101 (the place where the fireworks happened for bringing in the new year), then the Taipei zoo, and then we finished off the day riding a gondola up into the mountains where we enjoyed a tea dinner.  The yellow arrow is pointing at an embryo that looks disfigured compared to the other embryos in that well. We concluded it was dead due to no detection of the heart beating.  This one well contains some decaying zebra fish embryos.  Taipei 101 Taipei 101 serves a popular beverage called mango beer.
