See the White Lab Hard at Work. . .
5 members of the White Lab head out to a farm to collect samples and the car was packed to the gill! Dr. White, Sara, Grace, Abby, and Kylie (way in the back!) took a picture before sampling was completed.
The White Lab works hard and plays hard! The team went out for ice cream to celebrate Rika and project completion. Our favorite building (Animal Science) can be seen peeping behind the trees! Kylie, Grace, Gabriel, Rika, Sara, Tanya, Barbara, Mariana, Heather, and Sophia all had a great time catching up with each other over ice cream and tea.
Mariana is in the midst of a cell culture experiment and was harvesting her second passage in TRIzol! The fume hood is a versatile and safe place for her to complete the harvest.
It’s a beautiful March day and without planning it, Sophia and Dr. White match outfits! The White Lab members are always on the same wavelength.
Before biopsies can occur, everyone must practice sterile technique! Here (left to right), Tanya, Grace, Sara, and Usman (who has his arms cut out before everyone else!) prepare to practice sterile technique using a creative approach with paint and sponges in the lab. Who will excel at keeping paint off themselves??
Kylie Konyn wears proper PPE as she gets ready to get some lab analysis done!
Sophia Green shows off her cart full of feed samples ready for dry matter analysis!
It was farm week last week! In the first picture, Drs. Heather White and Ryan Pralle stand with Erin Kamman (3 academic generations!!) and herd manager Mike Grott who Dr. White knew when she was a graduate student at Purdue. The gorup took a picture at the end of the day (middle picture), and even Dr. Holdorf came out for a farm excursion to reminise on his old stomping ground (last picture).
The Tri-State Conference in Fort Wayne, IN was a great success! Dr. Heather White, Sophia Green, and Sara Johnson enjoy some casual discussion and networking after presentations.
Sophia Green, an undergrad in the White Lab, had a blast doing her summer project! We’re looking forward to seeing what she accomplishes this upcoming semester!
Dr. White saves the day when it comes to plasma fatty acid methylation! She lets students know which type of pipette to use and holds up the correct (and incorrect) version of pipette to use. Do you know which one is correct??
