Here is a photo of one of my fieldsites. Despite being mid June, it is mostly frozen and tadpole-less. This would probably not be referred to as 'optimum conditions' for an experiment requiring tadpoles. Perhaps I shouldn't have laughed so much about Kelly Redeker's concerns about hypothermia...
Anyway, hoping to be at said lake in about a week or so, hunting for tadpoles like my MRes depends on it.
Other than that, all's well at IoZ and I'm becoming a pro at DNA extraction!
