Scientists all over the world send precious cargo to Julie Feinstein: frozen samples of animal tissues. As the collection manager of the Frozen Tissue Collection, Julie makes sure each sample is carefully stored. This collection can hold up to one million samples. It currently represents the DNA of a wide range of species. Information collected from these tissues will help conservation scientists work to protect endangered animals.
