[793-818] Also, I went to an event, I totally forgot that I did this. It was either earlier this semester or in the back of the last semester. I think it was earlier this semester though. My professor that runs the lab emailed and told us that she wants us to go because we also, back then […] No. So, it had to be last semester. So, back then, we would have group meetings. Now we do individual ones with just me, my lab partner and her. But originally, we used to do group ones with everyone that was in the lab. And, so then, the one day she canceled, then told us to go to this thing instead, which was, basically […] I forget what her title was specifically. But she was doing some type of research and it was supposed to be on planaria, I think. I’m pretty positive. Which I would have found interesting I had known a lot about it, I would have been able to follow it. When I get there, it’s about some hydro looking bacteria or something that also replicates planaria. However, that’s probably one of the only similarities and I’m looking at it, trying to follow what she’s saying and I really couldn’t. But I still did find her research interesting. It definitely was still a good experience I would say, it just was hard to follow, just because she […] The lady already had so much background and experience in it and I obviously didn’t. So, I think that was probably one of the bigger factors. But again, like I said, I think if it had been planaria, which I think that it was supposed to be originally, then, I would find it a lot more interesting and it would have been useful.
[821-843] They actually have these events semi regularly, not always for biomedical engineering. But they’ll basically have speakers come out or whatever to talk about their stuff or it’ll be. I’m trying to think of what the right phrasing is. But, basically, try out I guess for them as a job. I don’t remember what the right phrasing is, but it has something to do with them presenting their data and stuff that they’re doing and, stuff along those lines. In terms of, I think it was potential candidacy for a position or something that, basically. That’s what it was. And so, then they would come and present or talk about whatever they need to talk about. And then, I don’t think every student that went got a say, but I think it’s better to have people there and stuff. And then I think, the professor would have to go and look at it and stuff along those lines. So, I don’t think only that specifically was the thing that we’re doing, but it basically is similar because […] I only say that because they send out basically these emails that have a picture of the person, the description of what they’re going to talk about and then just say like, “Okay outside researcher or candidacy spot open,” or whatever or whatever it is. But basically, when they have these events, so mostly, all of these is just them talking and then after the fact you just leave. And that’s basically what ended up happening. If she want us to say after your talk, we would have, but, she didn’t really seem to. And also, she actually stayed after and talked with the lady, because I think she already knew the lady. Because of her research with planaria. Even though she didn’t talk about planaria. But, that’s why she wanted to go, I think, and, still at least talk to her. So, she did. She went and talked to her afterwards but everyone else in the lab, pretty much just left.
