This week I did more cell counts using the hemocytometer. This is a picture of the slide that is used if you look closely at the center of the two blue stained sections you can kind of see a grid. We use the grid to help with counts so we don’t double count any cells.
I also started to learn how to use R this week which is a programming software often used by scientists to analyze data, create graphs of data, and more. I plan on using R to to create graphs for my research poster so there is a lot to learn!
“R” huh? That’s really cool that a computer program can do statistical analysis for you and even save that data/code to use on future experiments! It would be even greater if the code was already written for your particular experiment. But once it is written, then the hard work is done! Great job learning new stuff!
