Abstract
During this internship, I gained both laboratory and field experience through numerous things. I first learned how to assemble mold for the gels that would be used for the experiment. This was done by sandwiching a rubber tube and spacers between two pieces of glass and then pouring the liquid gels with a pipette. The pouring of the gels took preciseness to pour quickly enough that it doesn’t set half-way through and create stripes, and not pour so quickly that you get bubbles. I learned to make agarose and acrylamide solutions and how long and the conditions they need to set. I would make gels for a couple weeks independently.
