Note: this protocol is taken directly from the protocol that Elly Overton sent to me on Oct. 29, 2018. Jamie Becker also walked me through the steps of this protocol beforehand. All credit goes to them.

Background: This protocol describes how to use the HOBO data loggers to monitor temperature and/or light intensity in a given environment over a defined period of time.

Materials: • HOBO Pendant Temperature/Light Data Logger (UA-002-xx) found in the sterile culture tubes cabinet, under the microscopes.

• Optic USB Base Station (Base-U-1) found plugged into the computer or in the sterile tubes cabinet

• Beast computer with HOBOware software in the Whalen lab on the third floor of Sharpless #.
