Step into my laboratory

Today was my first full day helping in the lab. We were disassembling 4 Aquahabs after an exeriment that lasted several weeks. My work included running a bouquet of tests on the water quality (hardness and various chemicals), measuring plants and counting amphipods - speedy little critters when you're going fishing with a pipette (aka eyedropper)! Lucky the fish liked them or I'd still be there counting!

Forget German, I'm re-learning lots of English today, like titration, reagents and the difference between nitrites and nitrates. It's been a while since grade 12 biology and chemistry.

This is fun!
