Dr. Hamann’s Developmental Biology class is taking on some new techniques this week.They are attempting to paraffin embed (mouse) tissue.We’ll let you know how it goes.On Dr. Ketel’s side of the hall the Advanced Lab Projects are putting the “RE” back into REsearch as they are performing a second yeast transformation.Transform into WHAT you say??Not Franken-yeast…but transforming into a yeast minus one (important) gene.Meanwhile, Dr. Openshaw’s Comparative Vertebrate Anatomy students are in the process of giving student presentations.

Introductory Biology II has a fun weekend getting ready for their third exam.Yep, it must be that time in the semester because Dr. Guelda’s Entomology and Freshwater Invertebrates courses have exams next week too.What IS the difference between Corixidae and the Notonectidae?? And on a similar note, congratulations to Angela and Patrick for finding the first Tardigrade of the season!
