Org chem - dipoles

I managed to do about 5 hrs of study this weekend including an essay.

I’m struggling with my doubts about getting into med and am really getting enticed by UX/product design again despite the glaringly obvious terrible tech job market right now - Someone take my brain away from me. Is it ok to do both? LOL

MOONLESS NIGHT INCREASE COOKIECUTTER SHARK BITES

Cookiecutter sharks are well known for feeding on large animals, and leaving a cookie-cutter-shaped wound, hence that comically name. These are small and dark sharks, typically found in deep tropical and subtropical waters. Despite their small size, these sharks can pose a significant threat, although rarely. Of the seven reported cookiecutter shark attacks on humans worldwide, six occurred in Hawaiʻi. A new research connect the interactions between cookiecutter sharks (Isistius brasiliensis) and humans, particularly among channel swimmers in Hawaiʻi. The study showed how environmental conditions such are moonless night can increase the likelihood of these attacks.

The nocturnal feeding behavior and zoogeographical habitat of cookiecutter sharks greatly reduces interaction of this species with live humans. However, the growing popularity of channel swimming in Hawaiʻi and swim start times have contributed to an increasing likelihood of live human and cookiecutter shark, according to the researchers, moonless night sky is a significant risk factor for night swimmers.

made a study den and had the most productive day of my life. I never thought it was humanly possible for me to study this much in one day.

Watching my fav drama for an hour at 2:00 am after studying the whole day felt like the best and the sweetest reward ever!! 🥂🥂

I feel so motivated after such a good day to make today amazing too! 💕

I think I felt the saying… you can only feel confident when you keep the promises you make to yourself

qPCR and extraction of DNA

This morning I had the opportunity to practice DNA extraction from a blood sample from a South hospital. It was a rather nice experience since I wasn't anxious at all, I had overcome my fear of micropipette.
