Science on the go: bringing labs into the field
Briefly

Flora Vincent expresses the difficulty of studying microorganisms due to the changes that occur once samples are extracted from their natural environment, stating, 'The minute you take it out of the system, you change it.' This highlights the fundamental challenge of accurately representing marine life in laboratory settings.
Niko Leisch emphasizes the transformative impact of the Advanced Mobile Laboratory, explaining, 'By moving the technology as close as possible to the biology that we want to study, we can all of a sudden see a whole new view of life, because we can find things that we couldn't find before, interactions between organisms.' This underscores the potential for innovative research methods to enhance understanding of ecological interactions.
