Good bye, New York!
These seven weeks went by in a
blink of an eye! I can't believe I'm already heading back to Ithaca.
Spending the summer at NYC, meeting so many new people, and learning so
many new techniques... It has been an absolute privilege.
The
last day at the clinic was actually the most interesting day I had
seen. I was able to follow along the progression of a particular patient
that I had been seeing since the first week. There was also follow up
with a patient with a peculiar case, being quite young with prostate
cancer. I wrapped up with Dr. Nanus and thanked him for his time and
expertise. Plus, also promised to send him my lab presentation and my
poster, as he wouldn't be able to see them.
I was
also able to present my summer work to my lab. It was quite flattered
when they kept talking about where my project could go and what else I
could do before they realized that I was leaving so soon. I feel quite
satisfied with my work. While I didn't find results, I hope that the
protocols I designed and the samples I collected and processed get them a
few steps ahead in their research.
Fun in New York: The final Immersion dinner was full of good food and fun conversations. One last hooray before heading back to Ithaca!
