We've got the scat, now what?

I'm really fortunate to have access to such a great lab space.
I spend a lot of time in the lab, but really enjoy it.
We first organize all of our samples so we make sure they stay in order and we don't get any mixed up.
Extracting DNA (genetic information) from carnivore scat is a time intensive process.
We use tweezers to pick apart the scat sample and break it up into smaller pieces.
We usually find bones and fur in carnivore scat.
Lab work is a team effort!
My labmates and I have to translate words between each other often. It's a great way to learn Chinese!
