I’ll elaborate once the IGERT proposal is submitted (just a couple weeks away, yay!), but here is my plan:

1. Shotgun DNA Mapping Simulation
2. Overstretching DNA in D2O and DDW and regular water
3. observing forces of the crazy helicopter microbe from the river
4. Open Notebook Science
5. Deuterium Experiments – Repeating Crumley and yeast growth, water analysis studies

Item 3 is new to the list and shouldn’t be difficult and could potentially be really fun! The SDM simulation stuff could be time consuming but I started that effort back in March right before Spring break. And the DNA stretching stuff has been underway my entire career here at UNM and is about to be redeveloped starting next week or so.
