Yeah, More DNA!

My big accomplishment of the week to date is 6 DNA extractions yesterday, and 6 more today, so that I've done 28 now that are ready to be sequenced. Thursday I might get crazy and try to do another 12, the maximum I can do at once because I'm limited by the number of tube slots in the tabletop centrifuge. It's like real biology!

We're also starting to organize for a life history study of both silver shiners and blotched chubs from the Flint. Four students are interested in working on this project (one of them a volunteer), so hopefully this will fly. I'll have a better idea after Sunday's trip to the Flint.
