PICTURES PICTURES PICTURES (part one)

Alright where to start? here we go , this here is our beloved Gump Research Station... Buildings from the left to the right: we have the dorm area, the cabanna, the blue tanks (of death), the wet lab, and the research labs. the shot is actually a 360 view and so the right part of the picture actually part of the left. Now, im going to take you directly through the center of the photograph:
As you can see, the wet lab is actually divided into two buildings: the touch tank area and that other building with the green roof, touch tanks are places where experiments with organisms are carried out. lots of fish tanks along here. you can also see the blue tanks (of death) out on the right to give you a sense of direction. Continuing on...
If you walked through the wet lab, you would have gotten here: the dock area, this is where we load up our boats, park them, and lay stuff out to dry.

Now we are going out of this area and going towards the right of the first photograph, the brown building...The building itself is made up of two floors.

this here is our computer lab located on the second floor of the research lab building. If you wanted to know where i am sitting, i usually sit in the far chair of the left side. (i believe my backpack is there) . this is the dwelling place of janky internet.this is one of the lower level labs. this one in particular was known as the dirt lab; but UCLA did all of our in lab experiments here. as we were leaving, a smithsonian team took over. apparently they wanted to make a complete genome project of every single organism found in Moorea (quite a feat)
