Melbourne Museum

This week we're in Melbourne! As well as eating crazy donuts and liquid nitrogen icecream, we're sorting through specimens at Melbourne museum!

Museum Victoria have done a lot of biological surveys, and lots of this material might have specimens of our wasps in it that would be useful for our DNA project. So we're slowly sorting through it and borrowing the things we find.

Getting to visit most of the museums in Australia has definitely been a highlight of this PhD, and is one of the awesome parts of being a scientist - we're able to travel and see so much of Australia and the world!
