Berlin, here I come!

Soon, that little green B marker will be my location...that is such a surreal thought. I'll be flying out of Atlanta on May 16th and I begin work on May 21st. I can't wait to meet all my lab mates and my host family :)

Less than 3 weeks away

Hey everyone,

It's less than three weeks until I leave for England--less than three weeks until I'll be exploring the campus that gave inspiration to such notable alumni as Sir Isaac Newton, Charles Darwin, Francis Bacon, and many more. At the University of Cambridge, I'll be studying a specific RNA-binding protein found in E. coli that controls gene expression. This is just one of the many scientific projects at the famous LMB, Laboratory of Molecular Biology. I'm a little intimidated, but also immensely excited for the challenge. Check back in a few weeks for pictures and updates!

One month...

It is officially one month before I leave for Bolivia! This summer I will be working in El Alto, Bolivia (elevation: 13,600 ft!) on a project evaluating the health and nutritional status of Bolivian mothers and their children. I'll be working directly with the mothers through focus group discussions and interviews, which means I need to start polishing up my Spanish skills over the next few weeks. I'll be back in June with updates!

Counting down!

Hey everyone!

Only 2 weeks until I head across the Pacific to Australia! I can't wait to venture to a completely new part of the world. It will be winter when I arrive, but from what I'm told, the beach city of Brisbane will still be warm and beautiful. I intend to post tons of pictures on here (mostly of food, I'm sure), so check back in a few weeks for more updates! As for now, I'm immersed in a book on Australian culture, hoping to learn a thing or two to prepare myself for the new accent.

Cheers!
