A long time coming

I know this blog post has been a long time coming, but I still intend to keep it short.
There has been no revolutionary happenings but I've been occupied with a lot of different things both professionally and privately.

The year is nearing its end but the holidays doesn't mean much for my workload. I still have to be productive even though I will of course treat myself with a proper Christmas celebration with my family.

I'm wrapping up the last samples and data points for my first publication this week and already starting on my next project, and suffice to say that both are looking really exciting.
Looking back on the data that I've accumulated, I've now run the qPCR instrument through 10 different microbial targets adding up to ca 1350 samples! Including the environmental metadata it will be a huge dataset.
I will get back to you on my new project soon and hold off with my exciting results until I've gotten it published in a scientific journal.
