PhD Paper 1
So....my rescue experiment worked! YAY! If you have ever done research, you will know that it is not enough to find/define and phenotype. It doesn't matter if you think something is caused by a certain pathway or some gene is important for disease, you really have to prove it. And, the most definitive proof is if you can down/up-regulate that gene/protein/pathway and rescue your phenotype. Today, I accomplished just that aim!
This means I can start writing my first paper all by myself. I feel like a big kid...you know...like one that doesn't have to wear diapers anymore or something along those lines. If all goes well, I can churn out another paper in the next few years and be done with this whole business.
The only problem is, I've never actually written a paper. The last time I wrote something was for this blog and we all know how different scientific writing is. Eek...I am scared.
