Rounding out my Last year

Well…. as they say all good things must come to an end. But wow is it being of a year! Starting the year off with a second publication. This time it was based off of my direct lab work. I feel so proud of this paper. I added it to the available links. 

Classes are coming along great. I am taking Anatomy and Physiology I + Lab, Zoology + Lab, Clinical Psychology, Occidental Cultures III, and History of Puerto Rico. I continue work as a tutor/mentor for the Biology students at the Center for Student Aid. And of course I am still working with Dr. Chiesa on our project on molecular mechanisms of Neuropeptide Y in anxiety. This year we have a fellow student, Maralisi, working with us through the AMP program. 

In addition, this past saturday the RISE program gave awards to the best AMGEN posters and the Best Summer Research posters. I won second place in the AMGEN posters, which entailed a $30 prize. yay. And for the summer research I won First Place in the Biology Second or More Experienced Students. That prize included an all expenses paid trip to the ABRCMS meeting being held in Orlando, Fl this year! So exited.
