Day two at the lab!
We did a lot of brainstorming today, as well as learning some of the general tasks the Fields lab does. We walked through how to autoclave filtered sea water so it can be clean enough to use with cultures. We then went through and learned the careful techniques of transferring the culture stocks to keep them fresh. Along the way we did another tow, and sorted the Acartia from the Tamora (sp?). We also concluded that our first batch died because of the bleach in the water... learning from mistakes!
Tomorrow we're going out on a boat for the day, using a vessel from the Darling lab (sp?) about an hour away. It should be a nice day, and a nice break from land. My new rain boots will come in handy!
That's it for now!
