Ashley is collecting some more flowers to put them in desiccator to be able to get more pollen grains from these suborn flowers.



We had a new member in our lab. Kyungyoon Ra (left) is from Korea and she would like to explore some new adventures in the lab for a couple of month, working with Emily Riffe (right) to extract DNA from blueberries.
