A truly wonderful summer experience

This summer research experience funded by Center for student innovation had been wonderful and is truly one to keep. Working with various students and lecturers from different department has enable new social network of skills and information sharing to me. One thing for sure, my ASL signing skill has improved a lot and so are my laboratory skills. Thank you all for supporting and encouraging me.

Week 8

This week had been the most busiest week due to the water sampling and phenol analysis. Everyday starting from last week Wednesday i sampled water from various duckweed cultures treatments. These water sample were then analyzed on Monday and Thursday for phenol concentration. All the duckweed full treatment cultures were put to stop based on treatment. Natural organic matter cultures final sampling and biomass was done on Friday, Tannic acid cultures on Saturday and Phenol was done today (Sunday). Water sample collected on these day will also be analyzed for phenol concentration. This is done to observe the changes of phenol concentration in the presence of duckweed. If the phenol concentration decreases, this will mean that duckweed has the potential to purify water from phenol.
