Ms. Song's intermediate presentation

イメージ
At Nagasaki University, we have a five year PhD program, that provides 600,000 yen a year to enrolled students for research. In their second year, they get a midterm evaluation. So they need to present their research progress and near-term goals. Ms Song is working on how environmental estrogens and climate change (temperature increase) affects the reproductive development of the common goby, マハゼ. She has a lot of experience speaking, so the presentation went well.

Fish attracting lights

In the evening, the students were involved in another exercise  and collected plankton samples. They deployed two underwater halogen lights to attract plankton and fish.

This is the light in action

Identifying the collected specimens.

After collecting animals for an hour, the students brought them back to the lab for identification. They will sketch and identify at least 5 species.

Summer lab starts today

Starting the summer labs today. This is the first of a few that we will host at ECSER. These are second year students collecting animals from a small stream mouth near the Institute. They take them back to the lab for sketching and identifiers。
