The presentation on spider silk was very interesting. I was a molecular biology graduate student 20 years ago and I understood everything that she was doing. I like watching the silk fibers dropping down from the protein solution and the red eyes silkworm looked like aliens. It would be great if they can make silkworms produce colored silk like green silk, red silk, blue silk. Will be really cool. I could have done some similar molecular biology stuff if I am in the spider lab. I finished the lesson planing part one and will be working on the worksheets and curriculum mapping next week.
