Congratulations to our #NSF REPS PostBac, Jordan Rodriguez, for winning a "Best Presentation" award at #NDiSTEM2022 for her presentation on successfully sequencing the #genomes of 32/36, 112 yo fish specimens from the #smithsonian, resulting in 550k #SNPs to test for evolution when compared with contemporary specimens. Thank you to the members of #PhilippinesPIRE for #bioinformatics and @gcl for lab expertise.
