Wrapping Up June

Well it has been an exciting few weeks for the fungi group!
We have been working on a few different experiments and presenting to some classes. We presented to a science business class which was very fun and pretty easy.
This last week we continued our soil experiment, started our RBBR trial, and have set up a new sawdust experiment. Although the students going to Costa Rica this summer are in the lab almost 24/7, which makes transferring plugs very tricky. So setting that up is very important but it may have to sit over the weekend because I am going to Canada for my birthday this weekend.
I am very excited to have fun and relax finally since the last few weeks have been very stressful. This next month should be very exciting with all the new experiments we are planning on setting up.
Well we are about to meet with Tom so I will blog later!

End of the Quarter

Well, finally we have reached the end of a very long and stressful quarter. I am very excited to really focus on our fungi projects. Our soil project is going really well, I have to measure today but it's normally fun and easy to do.
I presented to one of Brian's classes on Wednesday night, it was pretty fun and really easy. The other three presentations I am required to do will probably for the Upward bound Program, Joey's friend is an instructor and wants his classes to see all sorts of exciting and interesting guest speakers. I know his first thought was "FUNGI!" :)
Anyways, I know those kids will be fun and I hope that I can teach them something.
Sometime this next week we will probably start a new master collection on toothpicks, an idea that Janet and I came up with. ;) And then continue the soil experiment. I think we have a fungi team meeting on Monday to figure more out about our goals for this summer.
Other than that I don't have much to tell you about, oh My number 140 is kicking butt on the soil experiment which makes me really happy!
Later
