Buck Institute internship

I started work at the Buck Institute yesterday, and so far it has been great. I’m working in the Lisa Ellerby Lab studying Spinal Bulbar Muscular Atrophy (SBMA). The facilities are truly excellent, sporting three floors of research labs and a proteomics core. Everyone I have met so far has been really nice — this summer is shaping up to be a lot of fun.

The other plus is the commute, which is very short from Mill Valley. In the morning, traffic is sluggish going South on the 101, but luckily the institute is North of my house, so I don’t have to fight traffic. This cuts my commute time down from what would be at least an hour to fifteen minutes both ways.
