Wow, it has a been a bit since I posted any updates. Since last June I have been working on data analysis and writing. In August I traveled to Alaska to assist a fellow Walsh lab graduate student, Michelle, in field work. While there we collected zooplankton samples for Michelle's work, specifically Daphnia species. Daphnia and other zooplankton are small animals that usually eat algae (phytoplankton), and are preyed upon by larger zooplankton or fish. See Michelle's website for more information on her Daphnia work. There were a few different wildfires at the time we were in Alaska, and we drove through some of areas near the fires to reach sites. It was quite a sight, and a juxtaposition to the beautiful views that are usually the norm.
