Just to do a small update on my Special interest project - my PCR worked and I edited my samples through Geneius. Then used MEGA and got this wonderful phylogeny ( + bootstrap). #sparsely-spotted stingaree
Currently working on DNA extraction for Sparsely-spotted stingarees and finally had a breakthrough! After 6 PCR programs, I got all 10 samples plus my positive control to amplify :)
Just wondering whether anyone can help identify this for a friend of mine... found in the flesh of a Parrot fish caught off eastern side of the reef at Fraser Island.
The countdown is officially on!
This Friday, Team Microplastics will be heading to the Northern Beaches Council to talk all things microplastic, pollution and prevention!

Interested about learning more on microplastics? @Jacbird1 has done an amazing job on describing it for those who are that bit more visual... I know I am :) #MqMarSci
Another day in the lab!! And a new experiment we're working on, using Nile red dye and filter paper to find those microplastics! #MqMarSci@Jacbird1@TrethMeg@cayleighb_
First day in the labs figuring out our microplastics plan for the semester #MQMarSci can't forget the gloves - we don't want any contamination @Jacbird1@TrethMeg
Good morning 🐚 It may not be your typical #Weds morning read, but why not learn something new about #Australia's cuttlefish!
Stick with this thread + we'll share some fascinating facts (+ photos) from Bronwyn GIllanders (@UniofAdelaide).
