For the most part, all my work with the iron-reducing bacteria is done/put on "hold". Instead, I'll be working on an electrowinning project and a gold mining project. Fun, right?
Progress for the electrowinning is slow going due to the long run times for the current set-up and the majority of my time going to the other project. There are many direction to take with this project and shows much promise.
The gold mining project is going fairly quickly now that we have a reliable lab (Wyoming Analytical Labs) to send samples to until we get our equipment up and running. We have sent out a total of about 28 samples already with two more going out today. There are about four experiment represented in those sample and should tell us quite a lot about what direction to take after analysis of the data.
More detail on the projects? Nope. Have to remain vague due to the novelty of the research and one of the project being funded by a company. When I publish my dissertation, you can read all about it. ;)
