This week was all about bioassays. It all revolved around sea urchins. The plan was to go pick sea urchins by the beach. Then the tide got high and the clouds rolled in to make way for the storm. Unfortunately duty still called …”ahh the greatness of field work…” and so we went in the water to get the sea urchins and take them into the lab. In the lab we performed a bioassay taking advantage of the urchins external fertilization and tested out plant extracts for antimitotic activity.
On a lighter note this weekend we decided to roam around the Dominican Republic and visit the capital city of Santo Domingo. We visited the colonial areas and toured around many of the historical sites. This week I will be working on putting all my results together in a paper and a presentation. Let’s see how this turns out !!!
