This semester, I'm taking NS3320 with Dr. Field, called Methods in Nutritional Sciences. And today we did a hematology lab looking at our own blood samples. Here's my blood. So after we got our blood drawn today,
we centrifuged, or spun down, our samples and that separated out the plasma in the serum from our actual red blood cells. So then we can isolate the serum, and next time, look at our iron levels, to see if there's anyone who has iron deficiency anemia or other diseases. We looked at our blood glucose levels, which was really cool to see. And I have never figured out what my blood type was, so it was cool to see that I’m B positive, which is a good mantra for
life, just to be positive.
