This guide is intended to make establishing Hydra in the lab more accessible to anyone at all levels.
This is all thanks to Kelso Cochran!!! Kelso joined our lab when the Hydra were dying and looked through many standard protocols until she found the best one for training new students.
We are happy to now share it widely and hope it will be useful. Hydra are a great model organism for many questions in biology!
