Across the Pond


Kristine, Beck and Jacob are traveling to the International Sclerochronology Conference of 2013 in Caernarfon, Wales. Becky (an undergraduate) will be presenting her work at her very first conference and Jacob will be presenting at his first international conference. My poster was shipped off with them as someone had to hold down the lab with everyone traveling.

Becky Hood is presenting her work on archeological Mesodesma donacium shells from the site of Caylán in the Nepeña Valley, Peru.


Jacob Warner is presenting his work on archeological Donax spp. shells from site of Caylán in the Nepeña Valley, Peru.


My work on a Diploria strigosa coral colony recovered from the Flower Garden Banks off the Coast of Texas will be presented by Kristine DeLong.


In other news: Drew will be starting on his first project in the lab while everyone is away. Drew received an opportunity through the ASPIRE Program at LSU to work on an individual project over the summer. We are fortunate to have such a dedicated freshman working in out lab that we get to keep for four years!
