Well, it's that time of year again when we start planning for field season! Our first Earthwatch expedition starts on June 12, 2011 and there are a few volunteer spots still available. Check out the links to the right if you're interested in joining us!
For prosperity's sake, here's a snapshot of our staff from last summer. As far as I know, Dr. Avery, Dr. Standora, Dr. Wnek, Jules, Abby, Nicole, Brian, Chris, and I will still be around this summer and we'll be joined by a few new faces.
One of the most common questions that I'm asked is "what do you guys do all winter when you're not in the field"? Well, we certainly stay busy! As anyone who has done an expedition with us knows, we work from dawn to dusk trapping turtles and running experiments during the summer months. The winter months are incredibly important to us because they give us a chance to analyze our data from the summer, write papers, plan new experiments, teach biology/environmental science classes, give presentations on our research, etc., etc., etc. For example, earlier this month, Jules, Abby, and I presented our terrapin research at
Drexel University's Research Day and
College of Arts and Sciences' Research Day.
Stay tuned to hear more about our research in the next few days!
