Mar. 12th, 2016 09:28 pmI wish I had more to write about. Life isn't that eventful sadly. My lab fish are still alive even though we had some issues with the dosing of the tanks and worry about the pH and conductivity of the tanks getting too high. Slowly things are coming together. Tomorrow we are getting another undergrad who was hired so they can be here for morning feedings and I don't have to do that everyday on my own. Especially once we start doing research work. Tomorrow, the PI is going to show myself and most of the undergrads how to set up breeding chambers. PI isn't sure if we will actually have a successful breeding, the females may not be back into a biological groove for breeding yet, but it's worth a shot for the learning experience of setting it up and trying to get things started. I'm excited to learn things like this. The breeding tanks are more hands off than when we start working directly with the embryos, but I am looking forward to learning something new now that we have fish.
