Ever the Biologist

After an interview this morning, I strolled on over to Tottenham Court Road and popped into Paperchase to have a browse. They had some nice diaries, I quite liked the Moleskine and National Geographics ones. One of the other things I saw was a Travel Accessories kit. I looked at it and instantly thought “ooh, that looks ideal for collecting specimens!” There’s two dropper bottles which could hold C2H5OH and H2O2 for specimen preservation in the field and lichen ID; two round, flat containers to hold specimens or samples; a spray bottle for some other liquid (distilled H2O) as well as a pipette and a spatula! It’s all held in a nice transparent zip bag so you can easily find things and there’s space for a x10 handlens too.
