A day in Jo-Ying's lab

Hello everyone!

What better way to spend Hari Raya than to visit Joanne in the lab?

(actually i was so bored i had nothing better to do la)

But it was a super eye opener when i went down on Thursday..

A little bit of an intro.. Her project is on porcine coronary arteries.. (if you didn't know what that meant then it doesn't really matter so never mind.. there are pictures)


Firstly.. the lab..

















Next, the scientist in action.. She's handling some tubes...

















Starting with the heart...
















Digging in to get the artery..































Cutting away the fat around the artery..
















And we have... ONE ARTERY!!!!!!
















Holy cow imagine doing that for five hearts, excising two arteries per heart...

I am definitely glad i have my equations instead..
