International Day of Women and Girls in Science 2020 - Jenny Kaden and Dr Kara Dicks
Jenny, senior laboratory technician, and Kara, research scientist, are members of the RZSS WildGenes team and are based at Edinburgh Zoo. The combination of their roles is instrumental to the incredible output from the WildGenes lab; Jenny processes the samples as they come into the lab and Kara analyses that data and translates the findings so they can be put into action.
