End of week two......

So week two of my PhD is now over, I have delved into the world of Bio Informatics, and I now know that I need to work on researching this area as there is a clear gap in my knowledge. I have never done any Bio Informatics before so I am looking forward to learning more.

I have been given my marks for the presentation I did a couple of weeks ago, I got a mark of 80 which I am extremely proud of. 

Tomorrow myself and a colleague are hosting a stall at a science in the community event in Nottingham, where we are going to be helping children learn about anatomy with fun and interactive activities.

Its already been a long week.......

Its felt like a very long week so far, trying to get my head around bio informatics. This is an area I am pretty unfamiliar with, I have spent hours researching sequence alignment which I think I now understand the basic principles of.

I feel like I have not achieved very much this week, on my week to do list I have only managed to tick off two things, I am feeling a little disheartened this week. Creating a to do list was possibly not as good of an idea as I thought, especially when you can barely tick anything off. I feel that I do know enough and I'm worried that I will look stupid.

I have a busy weekend as well, Science in the community outreach program on Saturday, where my colleague and I have created a stall on anatomy. Where we are going to enlighten children and give them some information on the human body. We are also providing chocolate and sweets.
