Active Researchers

This past July we hosted a fun, summer field course for students and teachers that was an introduction to current research projects at the Huntsman.  We had a great group of participants that came from St. Andrews, Ontario, Quebec and as far away as Germany.  The participants assisted Huntsman scientists to gather data on:
·         invasive species, such as green crabs,
·         invertebrate biodiversity,
·         aquaculture, and
·         songbird populations and migration.

It was a great week, with wonderful people, fun activities and gorgeous weather! Now we look forward to the 2012 summer field courses!
