Since lab access did not occur all summer, our team did not undergo wet lab health and safety training – of course if lab access had actually occurred, we would have undergone this. <br><br>Working at home can be isolating or frustrating as time goes on. We’ve always encouraged both paid student employees and volunteers on our team to set a schedule that works for them and take breaks as needed. Our weekly meetings have given our team a chance to see each other’s faces at an uncertain time and reflect on making our working lives more comfortable. <br><br>Hypothetically, the <b>E.coli K12 strains used do not colonize in the human gut,</b> have very limited survival in the environment, and have no known negative effects on microorganisms or plants. For these reasons we think it is a good model organism to work with, had we gone in the lab. Much of this information was obtained after reviewing the <b>Canada Pathogen Data Sheet.</b> <br><br>It’s important to note, should the biosensor be made, we’ve taken steps to ensure in our hardware design that proteins are separated and never come into contact with a patients skin or enter their body for safety reasons such as accidental entry of parathyroid hormone into the body.<br> |
