Someday, I hope to have a career in the biological sciences. I've always enjoyed the study of science, with its plausible explanations for the "hows" and "whys" of our lives. My serious interest in the area of the sciences developed in my freshman year, during which I conducted my first long-term research experiment. One aspect I particularly enjoyed about doing research was the final project of designing, conducting, and writing up my own experiment.
Although the work involved was time-consuming, doing the experiment allowed me to see how real scientists test hypotheses. My laboratory dealt with the effect of COX-2 inhibitors on Glioblastoma cells. Not only did I have to treat and care for Glioblastoma cells daily, I also had to count every week 48 wells of cells which took about 4 to 5 hours. As the labs were used to do professional research, I spent several hours in the library at Temple University (Fisher Library at Kresge Hall on Temple's main campus), using Biological Abstracts, Research Journals, Encyclopedias, and Lab Reports to find information on experiments similar to my own. The effort required by the lab really made me appreciate the scientists who spend their lives proving or disproving theories by experimentation and research.
Ironically, the experiment was personally rewarding because my original theory was proven correct. I hypothesized that COX-2 inhibitors will cause the glioblastoma cells will undergo apoptosis and death rate will be significantly positive. After I concluded the lab and began analyzing the data, I found that cells treated with certain COX-2 inhibitors had faster death rates and caused more apoptotic cells than others. I thought that this was very exciting; potentially routine results were given a twist.
I consider my research experiment to be a valuable scientific experience; I was exposed to the methods and materials of professional scientist and, in a small way, felt the excitement of discovery.
