A Day in the Lab

7/22/17

Last night was another late night, the power went out in the dormitories, and the plumbing also stopped working. Luckily Pablo managed to fix the situation in the morning before anything truly bad happened. This morning, we woke up early to work on and finish our projects. Tomorrow we present them to the rest of the groups and possibly some guests. Many of the problems have been worked out, and although time is an issue most groups are doing well, with two groups finished halfway through the day. We had an American lunch of burgers and chips. There was a trip to the village for ice cream, as well as a short break of chocolate and coffee. After this, we went back to finish our projects. The Atta Boys are finishing their project on the ant's microbiome. The Dr. Boomba Squad are finishing their project on ant colony air passages. The Four Hormigos are almost done with their project on ant pheromones, and M.O.T.H is analyzing their data on fungus in ant colonies. It'll be a late night tonight but it will be nice to finally be done.
