Prompt #1

On a given day a biomedical researcher goes to his lab and participates in a meeting where he and his co-workers plan the week's experiments. They set up goals and divide up the work in the most efficient way possible. The researcher then prepares the lab station and performs safety procedures before he begins. As the researcher works, he makes detailed notes so that he can accurately publish his findings. Once the researcher begins the experiments he must pay close attention to all of the various machines to make sure that nothing goes wrong. Sometimes the researcher may have an intern to mentor. In this case, the researcher will allocate an easier experiment to the intern and carefully instruct the person how to carry out and record the project. Additionally, the researcher will keep the intern updated with how the entire project is going as a whole and give the intern background information on the research topic. As the researcher overlooks the intern's work he makes sure his portion of the project is going smoothly. When they are done, the researcher and the rest of the lab clean their work stations and discuss what they discovered that day.
