Guys, I’m a field biologist now! Ok, not really, but I did go on my first trip to the field with Shane, and I don’t think I did half bad! Shane has been to the field a few times now. He went to Tanzania for his PhD project and joined a group in Corsica betweenContinue reading “Butterfly Collecting 101: Balsas & Vilcabamba, Ecuador”

The adventure continues!
Six years ago, we moved to the Netherlands so that I (Shane) could complete a PhD. Last March, I completed said PhD. Since that time, I’ve searched for a postdoc position while working as a freelance science editor. Why such a long job search? Well, there are a couple of issues: My research interests areContinue reading “The adventure continues!”
Corsica, France

The night before it was due, there was a frantic rush to find the cliff notes (had all the free sites saved) and the constant battleContinue reading “eseb 2015/Laussane & Noorderzon”
Lake Victoria..the follow-up!
And…..I’m back (only a month late)! I know, I know, I should have done this post a long time ago. However, things have been very crazy as of late. For starters, my 4-week trip to Tanzania ended up being extended twice, for a total of 6 weeks. Then, after finally making it home, I hadContinue reading “Lake Victoria..the follow-up!”
Tanzania, here I come !
Well, it’s official; I’m heading to Africa! This time next week, I’ll be on my way to Tanzania for fieldwork. Despite a few months of uncertainty and a significant amount of delay (to be expected when working with African nations), I’ll leave Sunday, September 21st and won’t return until October 20th. Living in Africa forContinue reading “Tanzania, here I come !”
