Getting Started in the Lab


September 22nd, 2015

Now that we have all had time to settle back into the swing of school, we are really hitting the ground running.  As we are about to start experimenting in the lab within the next few weeks, we are taking measures to ensure that we have a complete understanding of existing technologies, both in Zanzibar and here in the States.  We are creating a survey which will consist of our remaining questions for the doctors, nurses, and lab technicians who have helped us throughout our research.  With results from this survey we will have the final information necessary to get started with experiments in the lab.

Sara is getting started on our research paper.  The paper will be submitted to the WHO Bulletin and will be based on our findings in Zanzibar.  More specifically, it will examine technology gaps in Zanzibar specific to the health system, Zanzibari culture, and existing technology.  Sara is currently working on a very in-depth outline that will ensure overall organization.

For those of you have been interested in our blog throughout our travels and research, please visit us next Wednesday, September 30th in 44 Cummington Mall Room 203 at 5pm for an informational session.  This is a great opportunity for you to learn more about the program and also find out how to apply if you would like to become a part of our team.
