Dr. Eduardo Rosa-Molinar (center) and students prepare for a day of hunting hemichordates and ascidians.

Alex, Kaliris, Jorge and Dr. Ed prepare to snorkel for animals. The cooler is to bring back animals (not beer!).

Back in the lab, both Jorge's and Kaliris are all smiles, preparing DNA for PCR of 18S rDNA from the worms and ascidians collected.
