Lab exercise for geology students

Earlier this week we had the pleasure to host a lab exercise for geology students taking the GEOM09 course.

In this lab exercise the students get to test the role of hypoxia for chick development. Before starting a 72h incubation, a group of eggs get small hole in their shell while the control group of eggs are normal.. The students then open up the eggs and measure the number of surviving embryos and the size of the vasculature for living embryos. The students also calculate if the differences are significant.
