Hello readers so i have some exciting news so my senior topic going into the year was "Clinical Laboratory Technician" and I was experiencing some problems with that topic. The first of many was that it was super hard for me to find a mentor, my dad knew someone at Quest Diagnostics but due to legal reasons and confidentially issues i couldn't mentor at their lab. Then the next problem was research for the topic was hard to find and due to most lab processes and techniques being not available for the general public.
So what is my new topic If you couldn't tell from the change of scenery and a new header on top of my page that my topic is " Teaching Biology at a High School Level." I chose this topic because I love biology and i wonder how is teaching Biology different from learning Biology. An Added bonus with this topic is that i knew many people who are Biology teachers and could help me find research and possibly mentor me. Speaking of Mentor I actually already have a mentor his name is Anthony Pittman. I met him during the hike on Big bear and by the last name most people can deduct that he is Mrs. Pittman husband. He teaches AP Biology at Ayala High School in Chino Hills. I plan to mentor him twice a week for about an 1 and half a day.
So whats next simple research I have Three topics that i would like to go more in depth on. The first is how to teach teenagers and how their brains work. The second topic is Teaching Techniques and the last topic i want to research is common core standards and how are schools integrating to fit these standards.

Blog 8: Research and Working EQ
1. What is your working EQ?
How can a lab scientist still work diligently but still produce efficient data?
2. What is a possible answer to your working EQ?
1) Have them follow the analysis steps properly: this process is the common process that all lab specimens undergo misuse or not following them may lead to insignificant data
2) Transcribe the raw data into a short narrative statement so the Doctors may be able to read it more correctly
3. What is the most important source you have used that has helped you come up with an answer to your working EQ?
The two most important sources I used to help me come up with n EQ were source #7 " Good laboratory practices for Molecular genetic testing" and source #9 . "Physician survey of a laboratory medicine interpretive service and evaluation of the influence of interpretations on laboratory test ordering".
4. Who is your mentor, or where are you volunteering, and how does what you are doing relate to your working EQ?
At the moment i am looking for a new mentor, my original mentor worked at Quest Diagnostics but due to liability issue he couldn't mentor me

Blog 7 : Independent Component 1 Aprroval
1. Describe in details what you plan to do for your 30 hours need for independent component.
I actually have two things i plan to do for this component The first is what i really would like to do and my second is a fallback option. I have signed up for a college course online certification class for a medical laboratory assistant. Then if I don't get accepted then i plan just to do an addition hours with my mentor.
2. Discuss how or what you will do to meet the exceptions of showing 30 hours of research.
If I get into the online class i plan to keep all work like essays and other materials if the class can give me credit or have some way of keeping track of what i did in the class i would use that as credit. Then if i do extra mentorship i could take many pictures of me in the lab and then post them on my blog.
3.And explain how what you are doing will explore your topic more in depth
If i get the class the class will show me what a lab assistant must do to become certified but it also give me more textual research to add to my research book like lab techniques and basic testing procedures.
Then if i do extra mentorship that will get hands on experience with lab equipment and have a person to ask questions who could answer in a quick manner.
