I’m in the midst of my first Pub-a-thon, a Roberts Lab competition. Thus far I’ve drafted methods & some background/intro language that I’ve pulled from my Oly proposal. Things have stagnated recently; it’s time to get serious. Here are the 14-day goals:

Geoduck Environmental Proteomics paper

• Gather some missing info from Micah/Alex (e.g. environmental data)
• Perform lit review on geoduck/clams, bivalve protein response to various environments
• Outline geoduck-specific background section

Ostrea lurida epigenetic inheritance paper - mostly a matter of gathering data & analyzing:

• Mess with temperature data - synthesize into a plot
• See if I can pull pH data from website, and/or if Doug can find the missing pH data
• Identify best method for anayzing histology images
• Research best method to use for DNA Methylation analysis; and what other analyses should I consider?
