Publications and preparing to travel!

Erik and I have sent out one of the first manuscripts describing the invasive history of Gracilaria vermiculophylla to all of our co-authors! This is one step closer to getting it submitted for publication. It is the culmination of several years of work generating the data and several months of solid work analyzing all the data and crafting the story!

We've all also been really busy planning our first sampling trip to Japan which starts in just a few weeks! We are still working out protocols for all the sampling!

I am hoping to get back in the lab to do a bit of genetic work before travel begins, but with several more manuscripts on my desk, I foresee some long days (and nights) in the lab/desk
