Just about a week late… here’s a post about my goals for the month! Yay.

Summer 2021 Pycno project

Re-run differential gene expression workflow and annotate. Once I have clear results, then move into the paper more.
Have a draft paper complete by the end of this month or at least this quarter (March 16th)

Summer 2023 Multispecies Sea Star Wasting Disease Samples

Extract RNA from the libraries that we have chosen to answer our questions of interest. Send off for sequencing before I leave for Friday Harbor (March 3rd) or if not, have samples ready to be sent when I return March 18th!

Other

Update my website.
Start and complete my class project for Ocean 530.
Compile reading material for sea star projects and come up with a good system for note-taking and organization of papers and resources that works best for me!
