Who missed school? I felt like summer went by to quick , but luckily for me over the summer I was able to take a very hands-on Microbiology course which allowed me to be very hands-on with my project. Just a little recap on what I am doing for my project! I am taking a closer look into sharks mouths and seeing what actually lives there. Yes I said LIVE there, because there are a lot of things that are residing in their mouths. Things we cant really see with our naked eye. Bacteria can be as small as a pen point. I am swabbing their mouths to see if they do in fact have everything that lives in their mouths. I want to see which of these bacteria are dangerous to humans.
I am excited to be able to take on this journey with you guys following along! If any of you are interested in ever seeing what I do with the samples feel free to email me at katelyn_digirolomo@daytonastate.edu.
Next week I will be taking you guys through a virtual tour on what I do in the lab with my samples and the biological tests I run!
Jackson F. sec. 31A. How many sharks have you swabbed? Were they all the same type? And have you found anything unusual yet?

ReplyDeleteIs there a statistic on which is more deadly: the bacteria or the bite? If not, what are your predictions on the impacts of each?
