QuantSeq:

• By August 20th, finish prepping RNA samples for QuantSeq library prep. This includes:
  • Re-running qPCR on a subset of samples with the Actin primer set that detects gDNA.
  • Quantifying remaining RNA with Qubit
  • Concentrate dilute samples. Goal is 500 ng in 5 uL.
  • Assess RNA quality via Bioanalyzer on subset of samples.
• Week of August 19th:
  • Get all materials ready for QuantSeq library prep.
  • Test protocol on 8 samples (“extra” samples).
• Week of Aug. 26th, if all materials are in lab: begin library prep!

Degree:

• Identify and reach out to potential new committee members
• Read Jackie’s stack of papers, take notes and organize using Evernote
• Get study lists from Rick & Steven

Manuscripts:

• Finish simplifying O. lurida temperature/food methods, results and discussion. Get feedback from Steven.
• Begin revising, or at least organize thoguhts on, Polydora MS as per discussion with Chelsea & Julieta.

PCSGA:

• Review presentation from Aquaculture 2019 for PCSGA.
• Measure larvae from 2017 OA/T study, possibly include in PCSGA presentation? Maybe Kaitlyn can help with this. Maybe use Jackie’s fancy computer.
