Here are some images of the equipment (not
including the computer display) that inspired the dotty drawing that is now
stuck in my sketchbook.
I have had another great day at MedImmune this week, I spent the morning in the lab with Dave Bannister and the team he works with. I watched them doing many different experiments, asked lots of questions, wrote lots of notes (as you can see), took lots of photo's and even got to help with one of the experiments - although I am not sure I really helped, I am sure it took me three times as long as Dave would've taken if he'd just done it himself! - and was fascinated by it all.
I was particularly interested in work Gulin Guler-Gain was doing cutting sections out of DNA. She was very patient explaining everything to me in a manner I was able to understand.
In the afternoon I met James Legg who introduced me to the team he works with. They capture stunning colour images of the cells that are being investigated in the experiments. I am hoping to go back and spend some time in their department again next time. Yet again I was amazed by the science and overwhelmed at the friendly openess of the scientists to work with me and explain what they were doing clearly and enthusiastically.
