The Hill School: Day 1

The day started early with reagent and lab preparation before we even left for school OR had coffee. We expected to do over 100 DNA Extractions as the first step in the DNA Barcoding. We arrived on campus as the first period was starting –we didn’t have class until after 9:00.

It was a full house (bus) most of the day and busy getting through the DNA extraction.  Various specimens were brought in from around campus to determine their species. It will be interesting to see the diversity of plants on campus.
