Missing information from: Madison-Week 1

On my second day of work, Tuesday May 15th, I had the opportunity to work a little in the wet lab. I was exposed to SDS page gels, and how to run, process and analyze these gels. I also, had the privilege to produce the first sixty-four capsules of the drug PrevagenTM. Let me say that being the second day of work, and the company being in existence for three years, and being the first to make this drug is honoring.

I do want to make a disclaimer and say that I do not have the right to sell or produce PrevagenTM or take any claim that Prevagen is mine. Thanks to Quincy Bioscience I have had the opportunity to work with Prevagen, and I support Quincy Bioscience to the fullest extent.

On Thursday May 17th, I had another opportunity to see Ian Wilmut. I know this is not a name that everyone knows, but maybe if I said the name Dolly people might be able to put the two together. Well, if the connection is not being made let me help. Ian Wilmut is the leading scientist in cloning of many animals; Dolly being the one animal that has become, or I guess now became, popular in the United States. I was not the only person that was able to hear about his work, and have an hour lecture on how to clone animals, but nonetheless the time spent was something of a treat for us in the Biotech business or just science fanatics.

Another disclaimer is that I do not know how to clone, have no experience in cloning, and am not giving my endorsement to cloning.


By the way this is my sister Hannah's birthday, and I am sure she would love for everyone to wish her Happy Birthday!
