Research - Part 5

Last week, we resumed our research project. It had been 5 weeks since I last followed-up with my research. We went to BJ, thinking of we could make a conclusion and complete the project. But everything was so unexpectable. Lets look at what had happend.

All our plates were heavily contaminated with fungus and some other growths. We could not analysed our result at all. So what to do? Prof. Ong requested us to re-culture all the positive plates. It means that we have to redo almost 30% of the task.

Apart from that, we still can't get the data that we need from the Infectious Disease Department in HTJ. They have been delaying the procedure by giving some unacceptable excuse. We are actually run out of time :(

We are so demolarised. But then, Dr. James sent us an inspiring email. "Its okay, do not get discouraged, research is like that." Just because of this email, we will continue to work on :)

Thanks, Jimbo.
