My little biologist

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
A few of her classes are online but she also has a private tutor. There are a lot of flaws with the American public school system and you have little or no say in how anything goes on as a parent. Alot of very gifted children are getting let down with it. All of that is a debate for another forum lol

Sounds pretty grand! Your daughter is a champ :)

I'm actually looking into pursuing a career in biology and have recently taken part in phylogenetics for job shadowing. Pretty incredible stuff, even built my own phylogenetic tree!
One day she'll end up like me, I have emersed plants, tanks, tubs, tools and bottles all over my room. I have even been trying tissue culture, keep down this road and your daughter will overtake your fish room :D

When you say you're building your own phylogenetic tree, is that in relation to yourself specifically or are you saying simply that you have built one?

We downloaded DNA sequences of Osteoglossiformes and made a phylogenetic tree from it, I didn't sequence any of my own DNA haha. It took us a while to link all the codes to the common names

Just now we go to redneck country and get a family circle :p
 
Ok

Ok. I knew I had to be reading that wrong lol.

There's 245 living species of Osteoglossiformes. Was you PT rooted or unrooted?
 
I believe unrooted, we used the coelecanth as the neighbour. It didn't have all the species (mormyrids alone are 200+) but I organised it down to genus level
 
Sounds like fun tho. The first one I ever did was on bacterium. Wish i could have done a fish focus
