Lots of progress in 202 THM!

First they painted, including the lovely "accent" wall (see lower right photo). Credit to Mike Adams and Kelvin O'Dell for suggesting it!

Then the floors went down (below), but they covered them up to protect them before doing the rest — like lights!

I'll refrain from making a bad joke about seeing the light at the end of this project....

Drywall!

(the purple color gives it special mold-resistant powers).
All kinds of activity going on
​in here....
Right now this room stores HVAC pipes,
but soon it will store planarians!

I'm sure they've also done many other things as well, but those are less obvious to the untrained eye.

It's starting to take shape...

]]><![CDATA[Shopping at the off-site storage facility]]>Wed, 22 Aug 2018 04:00:00 GMThttps://www.emduncanlab.org/lab-news/shopping-at-the-off-site-storage-facilityI went "shopping" for aquatics supplies with my colleague Mike Adams today.
We found lots of great stuff! I'm hoping to put everything to good use in my worm room. Some new pipes and tubing, and hopefully it will be as good as new....

We will be located in 202 TH Morgan — that's right, we're setting up a planarian lab in Thomas Hunt Morgan's namesake building. Pretty freaking cool.

But first...renovations!

It's exciting to be creating a new space, complete with our own worm room. Below are some "before" pictures showing it as it is now (an old teaching lab).

​Check back here for updates on the renovations as they progress.
