Leave it to worms to bring out the best in people. We discovered 2-lips today on the bus while searching for crawling keratocytes on the bus.
The students at the Harlem GED program I’ve been teaching are really wonderful. I had a group on today with amazing questions, and many were eager for more! I will be coming back here for the next couple of weeks to work with these students.
Lots of progress since my last post – making plans with a bunch of schools, the bus is getting better equipped everyday, and Biana is setting up an earth day extravaganza.
Other exciting news, I got a grant to travel to Barcelona for a few months this summer! I will be doing research in a fly lab, and hope to bring back lots of new techniques to the bus. The lab I will be in does some amazing imaging of fly’s during metamorphosis. But this also means I will be gone for May and June. I will pick up again in July with some road trips and the Fall will be very busy with schools – the schedule is already starting to fill up!
Still have lots to post about the Columbia Open-Bus – that was a really fun day and Lynn took some exceptional pictures.
And, this is the first post from the bus itself! I now have a cellular wireless connection AND a new computer. The computer is the gift of the most generous Matt Valley. Thanks Matt!!
