Nicaragua


Bright and early Memorial Day morning, Dr. Scholes, Linda Lehrbaum (of KCWildlands), 10 students and I will be boarding a plane to Nicaragua for our Biology Field Trip Class! Well, we'll actually be boarding 3 consecutive planes and spending a lot of quality time with one another in multiple airports, but by the end of it all we'll be landing in Managua. We will stay at a functional farm outside of Jinotepe, surrounded by tropical forests abounding with biology. Needless to say, we're all very excited. The picture here is from our 2007 trip to this same locality - there will be many more to add upon our return in June!

Evolution presentations


My Evolution students just finished presenting their blogs and did a phenomenal job! I am so proud of them - they took this grid-computing project and absolutely ran with it. Please take a look at their team statistics, indicated at the top of each group's blog. And then consider joining a grid-computing endeavor yourself!
