For Didi’s summer project, she and Rickie utilized the on-campus mesocosms to incubate samples for mixotrophy. The mesocosms have not seen much action recently, but we were grateful that they still run like a charm. This resource allowed Rickie and Didi to run incubations with in situ conditions, to replicate natural Narragansett Bay conditions as best as possible. The experiments went great – excitement of success is exhibited by Didi in this photo!
