Congrats and good luck to Julia, who submitted her senior thesis manuscript for publication!
What amazing REU students we had! http://www.colby.edu/reu-in-ethiopia/front-page/reu-site-students/ Now, on to Maine-focused research tasks as Cat returns from sabbatical and Shayla and Julia return from abroad to tackle senior thesis projects.

Julia Rogers presented our Costa Rica work at ESA in August, 2014.
