do research

Actually I’m researching plant communication. How things change! I am all the way done with the lab component (I had to stop at some point since I am attending classes and should probably do work for them, too, once in a while) and have begun some preliminary analysis. Fun.

On dodder! I may have successfully weasled my way into a research lab at my college – next semester may see me observing the effects of dodder (a very invasive, scary little vine – orange or yellow, no leaves, sends out “suckers” into its host plant) on tomato seedlings.
