Welcome to Science Thursday! Every so-often I will be posting a new and exciting picture of algae with some helpful information, along with links to some reputable sites to further expand your curiosity and knowledge of algae. The blog will be featuring the designated picture and information. Here, will be an updated gallery of all the pictures featured. All pictures were taken by yours truly; either through my phone, my Canon Rebel T6, or through my camera attached to my Inverted/Compound microscope (both Leicas). All other photos will be given their respected credit when due. I hope you enjoy!
