We took the train from Redfern Station to Milsons Point. The train crossed the Harbour Bridge! Cynthia and I apparently took the same train, but we only discovered that when we got off. We grabbed some breakfast together and waited…
Aug 19: Genome lab was halfway interesting today, though I did have to crack open a gel for the first time, which was fun! After the lab, I chatted a bit with the group I was in the same line with and walked a bit together to...
Today I participated in the Wastefighters Society's coastal cleanup walk. We (a group of about 20-25 people) gathered at Circular Quay (not pronounced "kweej" but like the English "key"), where I saw an Aboriginal musician playing music. Again…
