With only two more full work weeks in Tanzania, I’ve been working hard to make sure I’m getting things done in the lab. This week, I prepped some soils for my final soil tests, did a little bacteria work, and completed some DNA extractions. Next week, I should start wrapping up by having my final village visits.
A few pictures for this week!

![DNA extraction fun, if the vortex adaptor doesn't fit the vortex, just stick a paper towel in the adaptor part and hold it on the vortex with a centrifuge tube for 15 minutes (it's a long 15 minutes!!)](https://u.osu.edu/testen.2/files/2014/10/IMG_7750-1eu54lh-225x300.jpg)
