not much going on

It's been a while since I blogged but I had the chance to attend a one day conference on Lamprey's and about the project that I am going to be spending bulk of my summer on and the upcoming school year. There are 2 major species of Lamprey's in the Pacific Northwest and with the second half of the day spent on correctly identifying the 2 most abundant species it was a great learning experience. The 2 biologists that ran the conference were from California and they are developing a field guide for Lampreys in the Pacific Northwest. Not a whole lot is known about the lamprey which makes it more exciting to know that I will be part of the project this summer that finds out about the mysterious lamprey.
