I am actually in Florida right now, working with Dr. Bill Baker's lab at the University of South Florida. Dr. Baker and his students study the chemistry of marine organisms, such as seaweed, and much of their work is based on organisms from Antarctica. One of his PhD student, Jackie Fries, is helping me do some chemical analysis on my seaweed samples so we can determine the different chemical compounds in them. Ultimately, once we know the types of chemical compounds the seaweeds are producing, we can look for patterns to see if the chemistry is related to the seaweed type and/or where the seaweeds are originally from!
