Finals Week Caught Up With Me

 The cough that I've had since finals week progressed into a case of pneumonia. After a weekend trip with the doctor, I spent the first part of the week in bed trying to rest. I'm glad to say that I'm feeling much better now and was very anxious to get back to work.

On Thursday, Pete, Sheedra, Deirdre, and I took a field trip to collect water samples. In Oregon we took samples at Hammond, Chinook, and near the Rogue Brewery in Astoria. In Washington we took samples at Ilwaco. The weather was beautiful and the sun was out too. (The picture below is from Hammond)

With the samples we collected, I learned how to store them in the Sterivex filters that we will later use in the DNA extraction. Next week I will hopefully get to more extractions so that we can keep working toward mapping the 28s region of Katablepharis
