Why is DNA extraction so tough?
🐜 Tiny insects provide too little material.
🌱 Plants fight back with tough walls and chemical inhibitors.
🐚 Shells, chitin, and slime — all evolved to protect DNA.
From coral skeletons to cactus spines, extraction is where fieldwork meets chemistry 🔬🌎💪

Through his work, we’re learning how species dive deeper, migrate farther, and adapt to life entirely in the ocean — all through the language of their DNA.
