Blogs
We write two types of blogs: student blogs and sabbatical blogs.
Student Blogs
Students in the lab maintain a blog to describe their research activities.
The blogs provide a pretty good description of the wonders and challenges of conducting science and being a student. I encourage youi to read them to have a good idea about being a student in our lab or the realities of scientific research.
To access the blogs click the Blogs drop-down menu.
Sabbatical Blogs
During my professional leaves my wife Lisa Acevedo writes blogs for her school students.
In those blogs people can learn about the research activities in which we have engaged as well as the places that we have visited.
