Day 13
We had a crowded house today! 21 students plus Brian and me. The students worked in teams of 7 – two pairs and one trio to collect replicate data on the effect of pH, substrate and detection specificity, and temperature on lactase activity. A lot of experimentation and learning going on – and it was such a good idea to hold it in the apartment where we had room and snacks. Students have incredible appetites – all cheese in the house is gone! We had a quiet lunch to recover – food wasn’t great but we had a lovely view at the window and they had a fun light fixture made from white porcelain colanders! Before dinner we walked around the city to get more steps in for the day … found a little outdoor spot for a cocktail – I tried my first Mojito – yum! Bring on the weekend. P.S. Santa Croce by full moon is gorgeous.
