Back to RM's School Research

There are several new updates.
 * 1) My research paper has certainly been revised and sent to JES. I expect to hear back from them soon regarding my entry.
 * 2) My goals have shifted somewhat this semester. For example, I think my attention should be directed towards preparing for the NIRSF. In order to prepare for that, I'm devising a list of questions that could possibly be asked on my research. After the NIRSF is over, and if this class will continue next year, I would encourage anyone who is interested in the project to get a head start. It takes a while for a person to become comfortable with the equipment, so I would be happy to mentor. Otherwise, the research goals remain the same as I outlined in section for newcomers. There are still many questions that are unanswered, such as "How do you reduce the contamination and damaging of DNA rafts before deposition?"
