Soil collecting trip, this Friday March 10!

We will go on a soil collecting trip this Friday morning, meeting at Armand Bayou at 10 am.  We expect the collecting to be completed in an hour, so please allow 2 hours total (including drive time).

We will plate the samples out in the lab on Friday afternoon at 4 pm. Stop by SR2 Room 229 to participate.  The Dictyostelids (slugs and fruiting bodies) typically appear 4 days after plating, so feel free to stop by sometime on Tuesday to take a look at the results. We will post the hours on the blog.

Here is the location in Google Maps:

It is approximately a 30 minute drive from campus.

Please leave a message here if you have any questions, and check back for further information. As always, please be sure to wear shoes suitable for walking and long-sleeves and pants to protect you from mosquitoes or poison ivy.

Please leave a note here if you are able to provide a ride to other students.

Let us know if you have any questions.  Otherwise, we'll see you there!

  3. Hi Mike, do you still have available spots in your car? I am planning to participate to the field trip but I don't have any vehicle.
