We're finally done with the project this week! Its kind of a bittersweet thing, as my partner and I really enjoyed doing this project, but we're happy we got it done. "We spent a lot of time making the documents and doing the actual experimenting, and we're finally seeing the home stretch." It would be really cool if any publications actually picked up our paper, but I don't really expect it. I think that what we did really lends itself well to having multiple different kinds of experiments done to either confirm our results or expand upon them. One of the experiments that I would like to do would be one very similar to ours, but in 10% increments of rations with 2 wells each. This would give us a much better average of our data, and enable us to better pin down a good ratio of stem cells to cancer cells. Another experiment that could build on our findings would be trying to do the same thing with different kinds of cancer and stem cells. In terms of project and personal goals, I think that we made most of them. We got solid results for our experiment, and we learned a lot about stem cells, cancer cells, and other microbiology during that time. On a personal level, I'm pretty happy that I learned as much as I did, and I think that I understand most, if not all of the stuff we did in class. I would like to get more of a grounding in biology, since that might be what I major in in college. As a project, I would have liked to get some more data, but I'm good with what we got. ***UPDATE*** Attached is a copy of our final research paper. Oof.
