The data we gathered during the experiment matches our prediction. While the image to the left shows some difference in confluence between single dose and no dose wells, it isn't significant enough to deem a valid weapon against cancer. We agreed beforehand that this was likely the case. While cherries may have some slight cancer-inhibiting characteristics, it is not a cure.

We could, in the future, alter the experiment to continue over a longer period of time, to get better results. In addition, the data we didn't get to collect from the higher concentration wells could have told a different story. Further experimentation should try to use those concentrations again, without contamination.
I believe my method for measuring cell size in images was very effective. In the future, I would want to use it again. In addition, it would be helpful to find a way to get a cell count every time we feed the cells. While a before and after count is interesting, it would be better to read further into what's going on with cell reproduction. It would be smart to research alternative ways to count cells, so as not to disrupt them from their wells but still get accurate measurements throughout an experiment.
My big goal was to ensure safety in the lab throughout all experiments. I can proudly say that nobody got hurt, and nobody broke safety guidelines. However, there was contamination in a few groups' well plates. I want to know how I could have done a better job, to make sure nothing got contaminated. In this way, I did not reach my goal. Overall, I would say that I did a good job and still have room for improvement.
