Sara and Misa are from Europe and were at Cornell University as guest researchers in the Searle Lab for three months. Both quickly became a part of the Searle lab and the EEB department. In collaboration with experts from other labs, they got their hands on eDNA and RADSeq related lab work and also got to do some exciting fieldwork on the Cayuga lake. They also attended many seminars and presented their research topics in lab meetings. Luckily, they were also able to find plenty of time to enjoy life in Ithaca, especially when out hiking and at local festivals.
Sara and Misa also couldn’t miss Halloween and participated in the EEB door contest. They let their fantasy and creativity loose and decorated the office door with small scary mammals.
