Due to human pollution, the global climate is experiencing drastic changes that have caused the displacement of many flora and fauna #OSUBI213 #OSUIB

In lab we learned about targeted spraying to lower the cost of preventing the spread of invasive plants! #OSUBI213 #OSUIB

Interesting article on how beavers can have a positive impact on climate change. #OSUBI213 #OSUScience #OSUIB yaleclimateconnections.org/2018/11/beaver…

In #OSUBI213 we are learning about different species and this last week we learned about the Northern Spotted Owl. A species that is endangered and is also found here in Oregon! #OSUSCIENCE #OSUIB

False Brome is an invasive grass that already covers 10,000 ha in Oregon. Next time you come across the perennial grass, please pull it! #OSUBI213 #OSUSCIENCE #OSUIB

Could the plants around you be in danger? With invasive species they could be! False Brome, an invasive species, was introduced into habitats around the west coast, negatively affecting the other plants. Due to False Brome, plants are pushed out of their habitat. #OSUBI213 #OSUIB

#OSUBI213 #OSUIB Bats are getting a bad rap from the Covid crisis, but please remember these helpful mammals do lots of good too, like eating huge quantities of mosquitoes (the worst disease-carriers!) as seen in this food chain

Did you know that many common apple types were created by humans? Fuji, Gala, and Pink Lady apples are all genetic crosses of other apple types to optimize flavor and use in cooking! #osubi213 #osuib

In lab we learned the benefits of genome sequencing, an affordable way to analyze personal risk of disease! #OSUBI213 #OSUIB

Ever wondered why you can never enjoy the bitterness of red wine? Maybe you have dominate PTC taster genes that allow you to taste bitterness! #OSUBI213 #OSUSCIENCE #OSUIB

In #OSUBI213 we are learning about genetics. Isn't it crazy that variations of these little DNA molecules make up all that we are? Fun fact! Each Human cell has 46 DNA molecules! #OSUSCIENCE #OSUIB

At risk of an underlying disease? Genome testing can tell you if you are a carrier for any disease!! #OSUBI213 #OSUIB

Make sure you aren’t planting the next false brome. Planting invasive species can be harmful and sometimes illegal. Be aware of what you’re planting! #OSUSCIENCE #OSUBI213 #OSUIB

#OSUBI213 #OSUIB Beautiful flowers from a pea plant! Why are some white, some purple, and some pink? How DO the same species of plant have different variations? It's all about genetics, dominant vs recessive traits, and patterns of inheritance. Biology is beautiful!

A new narrative for the ocean: it is not too big to fail nor too big to fix; it is so important & central to our future, the ocean is too big to ignore. science.sciencemag.org/content/364/64… #BlueLeaders #OSUIB

Many people don’t understand the dangers that invasive species pose on our environment. Invasive species can decrease biodiversity and can even cause native species who play key roles in the environment to go extinct. #OSUBI312 #OSUIB

During lab we learned about the cut throat trout! This shows how the migration pattern of the trout will change if the earth heats 4 degrees. The red showing the best spots for trout to live and grey showing uninhabitable areas for them. #OSUBI213 #OSUIB

Last week in bio we dissected owl pellets to determine what species they were feeding on. This is useful to learn how they survive in their habitats! #osubi213 #osuscience #osuib

CRAYFISH ROUND ONE: FIGHT! #osubi213 #osuscience #osuib @ElizabethhSimon we battled crayfish to see it claw size and weight matters in a fight! P.s. cray fish won’t fight with someone they’ve already battled cuz they know they’ll either lose or win again so they won’t bother!

There are only 2 explanations in science: proximal and ultimate. Proximal is how things happen, and ultimate is why things happen. #OSUBI213 #OSUSCIENCE #OSUIB

Genome sequencing is sensitive. It has clear pros and cons, but my DNA is private to me. #OSUBI213 #OSUIB

In biology lab, we extracted DNA from our cheek cells to test if we contain the gene for tasting the bitter compound phenylthiocarbamide (PTC) using a Polymerase Chain Reaction. I learned that I am a heterozygous taster. #OSUIB

The processes of electrophoresis and PCR read my PTC gene. Would you want your DNA read? #OSUBI213 #OSUIB

Using gel electrophoresis and PCR I was able to see a portion of my PTC genes! This gene allows you to taste a bitter compound found in plants! #OSUBI213 #OSUIB

#OSUIB Fall Potluck Picnic at Avery Park right now! Bring more snacks!

Pipetting my genome in the “its a matter of taste lab”. When science calls, you answer! #osubi213 #osuscience #osuib

As you can see from this picture during my biology 213 laboratory, my lab mates and I DNA have been injected into a gel like indicator to see if either one of us are tasters or non-tasters. #OSUBI213 #OSUSCIENCE #OSUIB

Prepping our PCR samples for bi213, gonna find out my genotype the old fashioned way. Theyre going to be cut and copied for our viewing pleasure. #OSUSCIENCE #OSUIB

My DNA was extracted, replicated and spliced to determine my genotype in regards to the PAV/AVI gene that allows you to taste the bitter phenylthiocarbamide #OSUBI213 #OSUSCIENCE #OSUIB

In biology, we created copies of our DNA and used electrical currents to view part of our genome. #OSUBI213 #OSUIB

Who knew the ocelot habitat could shrink so much with just a 1°, 2° and 3° difference. #OSUBI213 #OSOSCIENCE #OSUIB

Congratulations to the Marine Biology & Ecology students (BI 450) who did an excellent job presenting their research projects last Friday @ HMSC. Thanks for all of your hard work! #HatfieldMarineScienceCenter #OSUib #OSUMarineStudies

Can you find both moths in this picture? Evolution does more then help lives it saves lives too! #OSUBI213 #OSUSCIENCE #OSUIB #natural-selection #evolution

We’re @ Oregon Science Teacher Assoc Conference connecting w/ 260+ awesome educators like these from Taft HS. MSI sponsored this to spread the news about expanding marine programs @ OSU, HMSC #osumarinestudies #hatfieldmarinesciencecenter #OSUib #CEOASoregonstate #osu_fw #OSTA18

Got to make a micro test tube of my DNA in my bio lab today, wow science is fun! #OSUBI213 #OSUSCIENCE #OSUIB

Lab team examining the noxious False Brome in the backyard of @OregonState. We researched the ground coverage of False Brome within riparian and woodland zones. #OSUBI213 #OSUSCIENCE #OSUIB
