Save the date! Next month in Schools @ Darwin Tree of Life, the experts will be discussing what’s happening in the laboratories of the nationwide project aiming to sequence the genomes of all 70,000 species of eukaryotic organisms in Britain and Ireland.

You can find out about:

• Identifying and preparing weird and wonderful organisms (⬆) under the microscope
• How the Darwin Tree of Life scientists get genomes out of the lifeforms they study
• And anything else you want to know!

On Tuesday 25 January at 7 pm, we’ll be joined by Joanna Harley, a lab technician in 3 different fields, who is “mostly found in the lab, cultivating microalgae, working with DNA, or identifying and processing samples.”
