Atkapps Exchange, a inter-lab exchange between the Atkinson and Capps lab, was held this past weekend at the Jones Ecological Research Center at Ichauway. We had an afternoon of short "ignite-style" talks followed by a swimming and snorkeling trip on Friday. On Saturday, Jennifer Howze gave a field talk on gopher tortoises and then we had the privilege of floating Ichawaynochaway Creek! Carla, Hal Halvorson, Brian, and Monica all visited a couple of wetlands and collected crayfish for an upcoming experiment. Overall, a very fun and productive weekend!
