I'm reading about microscope slide conservation right now for a project I'll be working on, and look at this thing. This parasitology specimen goes really crazy:

Image of a cestode specimen slide mounted on blue glass, no coverslip, from Schmid, T., Hidde, J., Grünier, S., Jungnickel, R., Dariz, P., Riedel, J., & Neuhaus, B. (2021). Ageing Effects in Mounting Media of Microscope Slide Samples from Natural History Collections: A Case Study with Canada Balsam and PermountTM. Polymers, 13(13), Article 13. https://doi.org/10.3390/polym13132112

Edit, from my drafts: I forgot everything about this post when I made it. I've done the work I was preparing for when I wrote this! It was super cool, I'm really glad I got the opportunity.

13th September - Mammal Spinal Cord

No cool patterns in this image like the last few, but it’s easier to identify the structures. This is a segment of spinal cord, so it’s densely packed with neurons. The dark spots are most likely the nuclei of different neurons, and the light pink stain indicates the rest of the neuron which is largely made up by the axons. 

Once again I am falling a bit behind in my studies, but I’m on top of my assignments (mostly 😅). I finished the final touches on my opinion piece and I’m ready to submit it, and I’ve started up on a video presentation assignment. I’m hoping to get a start on the writing competition piece soon as well, I think I’ve got a really strong topic. I wrote up some pretty study notes from the first 2 weeks of neuroscience so I can consult them during the test, but I need to revise some of the later content, which looks challenging. 

My nonna brought me a croissant for breakfast, and it was delicious 😍. I’ve been waking up constantly throughout the week, and it’s been so refreshing to get out of bed before 9am. I find it so much easier to study in the morning. I wish in-person classes would start up again soon, but it’s looking unlikely we’ll get anymore this year 🙁. Hopefully everything starts getting back to normal by next year. 

Tomorrow is Monday, which means more online classes and an increased workload. I’m hoping this week has a bit less content, just so I can work on getting all my assignments done instead of learning new content.
