So I'm in upstate New York working on my research, and I have limited connections to the outside world! But thanks to the lovely internet, I figured I will keep a log of everything I've been up to, mostly for myself but if anyone is wondering what the heck I'm doing up here, this should help.
I had training on Tuesday with the nature conservancy... I'm basically doing shoreline surveys for them... hunting for this little guy:
Eurasian watermilfoil, folks. Yeah... I'm going to be talking about this one a lot. Along with the work I'm doing for the Nature Conservancy, I'm also doing my own research on the effects that this invasive plant has on the epiphytic macroinvertebrate communities (basically the underwater critters that live on it).
So yeah, that's my summer, lots of kayaking, lots of plants, lots of bugs, and hopefully lots of hiking in the mix.
Either way, my goal is to take at least one photo everyday, so I'll have a lovely collection of images at the end of the summer.
