Dissertation Plan
Here is my dissertation and defense plan. My research is composed of three areas:
- Shotgun DNA Mapping
- D2O Effects
- Open notebook science
All of it will be tied together because of ONS and D2O. Let’s get to it!!!

99.9% D2O Time Trial
This is the last week of the adaptation experiment! YAY!
Yeast growth in 80% D2O Time Trial 2
Yeast morphology in 80% D2O
Yeast Colonies in 60% D2O YPD
So I suck at my own microscopy technique of taking pictures and combining them. In each case I left out a pretty sizable portion of the colony. 🙁 Oh well. I’m going to do these experiments again (cause I made 2 sets of each type of solid media, 0%-100% D2O) and will be taking new images then. Can’t wait!!
Arabidopsis growth update
Ever since I added a timed incandescent bulb to the system, the plants have been flourishing! That’s a gross over exaggeration, but they’ve been growing faster and better than prior. Check them out! I think next week I’ll add some 20% D2O plants and start charting their growth.
80% D2O YPD Solid Media
- Water (already prepared and antibiotic added):
- 32ml D2O YPD
- 8ml DI YPD
- 0.8g agar
- Stir and heat on hotplate
- Pour 15-20ml into petri dish and allow to cool
- seal with parafilm
