Continuation of scientists job shadowing

It's really a privilage, that we can talk to scientists personally, ask so many questions, come back to the topics, ask for interpretation, for a draft on a paper :) Today we've got a possibility to take part in a weekly meeting of the whole laboratory

Then we had a second part of shadowing in the labs.

And in the end we had something beautifull - sun came back to Ankara

I'm exhausted and satisfied after a hard work today.
