Well, Ethan has been carrying the weight on the ol' weblog so far, so I figured I (Matt) might contribute a little.
Ethan has been working pretty hard and has taken well to our 'lab' away from home.
Below, he demonstrates his patented sternum filtering technique, ideal for rice field sampling.
I actually spend most of my time soaking in the sun and eating samosas, but every once in a while, I try to help out...there is a lot of field 'demucking' that must be done.
Overall, we're lucky to spend our days in a beautiful place. The flat terrain, flooded fields and tropical latitude allow for dramatic changes in lighting throughout the day, and moments of tranquility abound...

I don't think I have ever used the "sternum" technique and boy does it look like it hurts!
ReplyDeleteI don't think I can send the permits out today because I still don't have an address. I'll keep you guys updated.
I love those pictures of you in the mud, Ethan! Looks like you're having a capital time :). Also, beyond cool that you got to see Everest out the plane window.
