First Day in the Lab

Today we joined Danielle in her lab at UH-Mānoa. She gave a excellent presentation on our tasks for today and on photosynthesis. 

Killed some trees for science.

 Danielle taught us about photosynthesis as primary production in detail along with how the tides effect the ocean. She also went over how to piepette and lab safety rules.

Finally got to the lab to test our piepetting skills and familiarize ourselves with correct technique. For me it was a new experience never having the chance to piepette before.

Perfect piepetting technique.

teamwork! I noticed we are all beginning to know each other better and are not afraid to ask each other for questions and help when we need it.

Today was an overall very informative and learned many things. We added some lab experience and piepetting skills to our resumes.
