Lab Duties

Currently I am responsible for maintaining the cultures in the lab, freezing nematodes and monitoring their response, and maintaining the culture homepage which includes list and status of the nematodes we work with. My latest project , Survey of Soil Nematodes in the UCR Botanic Gardens has me counting, making slides, identifying, and making video captures of nematodes which will be on the website later, so check back for some interesting images!
