How exactly does one do "research"?

<p>I cut mice brains. Lots of them. Mount them, stain them, and (eventually will learn to) count cells (of different types).</p>

<p>Basically studying hippocampal neurogenesis- how it’s affected by drugs and radiation and other misc things.</p>

<p>It’s pretty exciting, but a lot of stuff goes over my head…</p>
