Last Free Day!

Last day to explore, so I went looking at this store in Nangan for these type of marsh mellow cracker snacks. I then found them at a night market, and was sad I spent money on the wrong thing when I went to this store. I also found this suppppper cute spongebob theme red envelope that would be used during the Chinese new year. I wanted to buy them, but I wouldn't have used them for their intended purpose, so I decided not to get them.  

Last time using the subway, the main source of our transportation on the trip, and while in Taipei. I will miss how convenient it was, especially because we don't have a subway at home. 

Last time on the bus with these beauties. I love them with all my heart. Forever my favorite people, and friends I made while on this trip. I am so glad I've met Kaylee and Baily. I hope to remain friends with them forever. Without them, this experience would have been a whole lot different, and not necessarily in a positive way, because they helped lighten the atmosphere. 

When we went to Ximen for our free time, we finished the day eating cold stone. It was super good and tasted just like home.

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.
