Well, this afternoon's lectures were a bit more in-depth look at proteoglycans and system biology, which is apparently a very cool subset of Bioinformatics, right up my alley. We were introduced to biomarkers and their implementation, as well as the practicality of sensitivity and specificity. Then, we basically learned about how Mr. Mass Spec (if you get this reference, +1 cookie to you), in recent years, has been able to ionize larger-sized molecules, like proteins, into gaseous forms and fire them at detectors so we can analyze large-scale proteins by cross-referencing their molecular weights with known sequences, using trypsin as a reagent to cleave some of the protein bonds. Very cool stuff.
Problem-Solving Workshop was only half-full today. Half of me wants to believe that they are slackers and the other half wants me to believe that they are hardcore and have mastered the material. At this point, though, I'm pretty focused on my game alone. Gotta study, gotta study!
That being said, I got a migraine and had to find some medicine from the book store.
Seriously, if you're reading this blog, please leave a message. It's kinda weird talking to myself and I'm sure in another medium, such as out loud, would be considered a precursor to psychosis or insanity.
