Yes, Kathy has sent several photos of her sections, and this time she did it by sectionig tissue and skeleton together and is also doing EM work. I have two last specimens that just finished decalcifying yesterday, and I am getting a healthy cutting today which I will then send to Kathy. I have also taken photos of another ten of the total under normal H&E staining and found similar things, but need to spend some time with Esther and Kathy under the scope once all samples are processsed. I want to do some gram stains an fungal specific stains on unstained slides but haven't had time - been too busy doing fluorescent TUNEL assays on my dissertation specimens and working on developing other really cool things for SDR...antibodies against caspases and cadherins, in addition to having to run gels on a couple hundred other specimens, working on describing a new Porites species (I hope), some white pox sections, several pathogenic flatworms and ciliates, a clam disease, co work with possible white plague variations and microbiology involved, coral culture systems, SECORE project, a coral farming workshop for next year, coral polyp extrusions, aquarium reproduction, proposal writing, finishing a paper on Easter Island corals, picking up a genetic study linking corals from the eastern and western pacific, writing and editing for RK mag, speaking, traveling, diving, posting here and other boards including Latin ones, planning next year's MACNA, heading a salt study, Flower Gardens research on mottling syndrome, apoptosis induction by microinjection, developing coral cell culture matrices, working on a method to unfix formalin fixed coral tissue by uncrosslinking, and paper writing. More on that at some time in the future.
