Reading academic articles for laboratory course
25th April
I have read aging academic, articles this time for my laboratory course. Subjects were histones (DNA binding proteins), mitochondria enzyme cytochrome c oxidase and lysosomal enzyme; acid phosphatase. I read about histones, whose have been analyzed using sodium dodecyl sulfate gel electrophoresis. I found out that there are many different size of histones and that they are very durable for acids. Cytochrome c oxidase transforms electrons and is very important enzyme for production of ATP. Acid phosphatase cleaves many chemical bonds and helps cells to clean waste.
I used again google dictionary and tried to pronounce new words in english.
Time: 2 hours

Watching document: Food that Kills
21th March at 21pm to 2pm
I watch youtube document Food That Kills- Full Documentary . It is actually lecture kept by Dr. Michael Klaper. It is about animal fat and it´s harmfulness. I wrote my bachelor work about essentially fatty acid and its metabolites in inflammation. Those essentially fats are plant fats and it was interesting to listen/watch kind of other side of fats. This doctor also spoke for vegetarian diet. I am vegetarian, but not health reasons but ethical reasons. I don't think totally same all thinks he said but mostly agree.

Re-doing CEFR self-assessment grid (yellow paper) and evaluation form (beige paper)
21th March
SILL
I think I have developed in english during this course. I have learned many new words, reading skills, speaking skills and writing skills.
My results are:
UNDERSTANDIN
Listening: C1
Reading: B2-C1
SPEAKING
Spoken interaction C1
Speken production B2-C1
Writing B2
Writing is still hard and frustrating for me. But it is hard also in finnish because of my dyslexia. I think I have proven most in reading academic articles. That is very nice to notice and it will help me later with my studies.
Evaluation form
I also filld ALMS evaluation form
Time: 55 minutes
Time in total: 103 hours 55 minutes

Study group with Laura
21th March at 12am to 3pm
I had a group meeting with Laura. Today we studied laboratory protocols and techniques. It is very nice to speak english with Laura, because she is very good in english. She have been working many years in international company and used english daily. My ALMS course is about to finish and this was probably last time we had meeting in english. It have been very good for me that I had opportunity to speak about biochemistry issues in english with her. I think that these skills will be useful later.

Watching movie with my husband and discussing about it
17th March at 21pm to 1am
Titanic came on TV. We decided to watch it (and cover subtitles). Everyone knows the story of Titanic and most have seen this hollywood movie, so it is not reasonable to write about that. It is now 100 years since Titanic was sank. This movie published 1997, I was 12, and I loved Leonardo di Caprio. Now he seem young, too young and I sow story of peoples who were young and foolish. I´m so grateful I´m not anymore so young and foolish and beginning to know who I am. And most important not trying to be anyone else. This is what we spoke with my husband.
English in this movie was very easy and clear.
