Be prepared and do it right

Don't Blow It

Preparation is key before starting any research.    On an episode of the podcast "Building the Citizen Scientist" with Dr. Todd Disotell there were a few excerpts we wished to share:

​
​"Just because a species hasn't been found doesn't mean it doesn't exist.   There are many new species discovered each and every year." 


Collecting Evidence

Here are a few tips to follow from Dr. Disotell on how to go about collecting evidence.

  1. Take a picture of the area and it's surrounding.
  2. Document the time, date, location and weather conditions.
  3. Put a mask over your mouth, and gloves over your hands, prior to approaching the area.
  4. Collect the hair with sterilized tweezers.
  5. Place in a DNA Collection Tube or Glassine Envelopes.
  6. Document the side of the tube or envelope with a sample description unique to each sample.
  7. Contact Paleo DNA Laboratories​​
