Bicycling 30:00 [3]
Rode to work, to school for another field trip, across the river into Boston (company meeting) where I nearly got run over by an inattentive driver, and then back to work and home.
From school, the kids navigated to Harvard's department of zoology.
There, we were met by Jessica Rykken, inveterate orienteer and invertebrate researcher (I mean, she researches invertebrates, not that she has no backbone). Jessica is running a biodiversity survey of the Boston Harbor Islands.
Her students showed us pictures of bugs.
Some of the pictures were in 3D, and they were Really Cool because the insects looked like they were coming out of the screen at us.
We looked at some real, but dead, bugs.
Then we went outside to learn about different kinds of nets and other devices for collecting invertebrates.
We'll use some of these techniques next week on Lovell's Island.
