This past week the students have been involved in all aspects of the animal clinic! Samples of blood, saliva, feces, fur, and ticks have been collected and preserved, as well as organs (ovaries and testicles!) following surgery. These will be used for subsequent analyses for microbiome, DNA damage, and contamination levels.

The team will spend three weeks in June, 2018, at the Chernobyl animal clinic in Ukraine gathering DNA and other measures of animal health.
