Time To Go!

Sunday morning I head out the door and back to Africa! My doctoral qualifying exams are finished and I’m now an official PhD candidate! So now I’m really excited to get back out to the field. I’ll spend the next 3 months in Senegal, Guinea-Bissau and hopefully the Gambia, where I’ll be collecting data and samples, doing surveys, and training African colleagues. I’m armed with my camera as well as a new video camera, so I hope to finally be able to get some decent video of our fieldwork to post. So I’m off….once I figure out how to fit it all in my luggage, that is!
