today is your lucky day!! We had a tour of the labs on graduation day for Rebekah. She has been studying the american white pelican for her honors thesis after her trip to the Arctic last summer and will continue her work this summer before moving out to Halifax for graduate studies. Here is a little tour of the lab she has been working in. It brought back memories of my days working in a chemistry lab for my doctoral work in synthetic medicinal chemistry.
That is Rebekah and the last picture is of the pelican feathers she has been extracting DNA from and studying to write her thesis.
It was all a bit much for Deborah being more drawn towards the artsy side of life but she handled it all quite well.
This is all very exciting. I love laboratories. I always sense something important must be going on!

Woahhh, all so foreign to me. Wondering what the crime was ;)
It looks like Rebekah can manage the sciences and art, must be in her genes!

Your girls are so beautiful. It's interesting that Rebekah studies sea birds, she must get her interest in nature from you.
