This week was spent setting up assays in the screenhouse and finally taking one down (which actually worked as expected!). Next week, I will be busy taking down two more assays and hopefully, setting up more assays. Not too much else to report this week, I just have lots to do before I head back to the United States in 10 days for the APS meeting!
The lab lizard made an appearance checking out my soil test kit.
Nematodes! I love it when assays work out!
Lots of tiny tomatoes to evaluate
This week’s random information: there are tons of ants here (thankfully none in my room!) and they do things that I’ve never seen before. Here are two weird ant things I saw this week:
A river of ants
Insectivorous ants! This ant nest was surrounded by beetle carcasses.
