Last day!
We had a talk by Dr. Lee Dyer this morning.
He showed us slides of the different caterpillar families. After the talk, we went to the bug room to catalog some moths... then we had our last conference call via adobe connect. It went very well! Wow! progress!
The week is over and I am sad... ready to go home, but sad. It was a great experience to come down here... see some science in action, see for myself the Katrina devastation, and see the amazing city of New Orleans.
