Friday was an interesting day for me because we had the opportunity to visit Arizona Department of Health Laboratory. Arizona Department of Administration has an awesome opportunity on a monthly basis to visit a state agency and have a complete guided tour where they explain everything that they agency does and how it functions and its effects on Arizona's citizens.
The Laboratory was very interesting, especially since it was my first time visiting. We were required to wear lab coats and safety goggles throughout our visit. We were introduced to all the elements that are inside that building. Some of the interesting things I saw was a small fox that they had received from the wild that was not acting properly and his behavior was alarming. They only receive the head and cut it open to examine the brain.
We were also taken to the floor that studies Ebola and the Measles. Another interesting department of this laboratory also test foods and minerals from the state to test for diseases. After the tour we were taken for lunch and had the opportunity to network with the rest of the interns from different departments. I can't wait to see which agency we will visit next month. I will keep you posted!
