Sunday: all day except 3-6. Tuesday: anytime after 2 pm.

Please briefly describe any previous laboratory experience
Fall 2012 - Now: I have been working in the Constantine-Paton Lab, studying the role of the dopamine system in regulating neural excitability. My work usually involves mouse colony management, genotyping, perfusion, histology, confocal microscopy, and neuron reconstruction using Neuroleucida software.
Hopefully, I will help my current supervisor complete the project by the end of this semester. I will probably work in my advisor Prof. Fraenkel's lab starting next fall.
For example, please let us know if you have any special glove requests, namely XS or XL size, or nitrile material -- we carry latex S/M/L by default.
Nothing else currently.
What music do you...
Like? Instrumental/classical while working/studying, otherwise no preference.
Tolerate?
Despise? None (though maybe Justin Bieber?)
Would you want to hear music in lab sometimes, or do you prefer to work without it? Sure, music is cool too.
