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 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!
I can come by campus on my way and provide a lift for a few of you. If you need a ride just leave a comment and I will meet you in the lab by 9:30.
