Today I began my day by mixing up cement for the surgeries. I prepared syringes of ketamine and atropine. I also weighed the rats who had not undergone surgery. A majority of the rats are now over 300grams, so they will be ready for surgery soon. I also helped trim the dummies to the size of the cannulae. When I was preparing the cannulae, I used a sharpie to mark the bottom edge of the cannula. The marking will remind whoever is performing the surgery not to get cement above the marking. On Sunday, I will work with Dr. Holstein and Alex on the microinjections.
