Couple of weeks back I was lucky enough to visit Holar University College, in the north of Iceland.

There we talked about ongoing work on the Arctic charr system, including genetic variation between sympatric morphs in Lake Þingvallavatn. And some new results on compensatory evolution of gene expression in Drosophila. The discussion was awesome, we got lots of great points and discussed potential new projects.

Then we spent the day processing fishes, phenotyping and taking clippings for DNA extraction. The photo is of charr embryo just past the eying stage.
