Day Twenty five

(12:00 pm) After being plagued by setbacks such as half the team turning up late, having no supervisor in the morning and severe computer and internet issues; work finally starts. The COSHH form for toluene is checked and ready, so some labwork involving both toluene and a much safer xylene can go ahead. A few more companies are phoned or emailed for sponsorship. Things are starting to pick up again.

(12:30 pm) An email has been sent to one of the staff in the genetic's lab to gain access into an office for the card to book the hotel. Hopefully this can be done today and our place is ready in Amsterdam.

More research is being done on the next step of the process to isolate and remove the gene that degrades polystyrene so we can insert multiple copies into new host bacteria.
