Next, she strolls outside of the conservatory (giant, very Victorian, all glass) as she talks about her job at NYBG. In the Herbarium, she is against a backdrop of endless rows of compactor cabinets that house the herbarium specimens, which are dried pressed plants on large sheets of paper. In the lab, she opens a freezer to reveal a ton of DNA specimens in test tubes. She shows the lab bench where she extracted DNA, and the table full of PCR machines. The lab itself is open and beautiful and has a wall entirely made of windows.
