Meet the Team



We just arrived.. We are staying in an elegant Bed and Breakfast guest house across from Tulane University.

We had a brief tour of the lab and met 5-6 of Dr. Dyer's co-workers. Dr Dyer also gave us a brief introduction to his work. Then everyone, including the whole lab went out and played soccer. Evidently it is one of the first dry cool days. Lee mentioned that it is rare to have this kind of weather, and they take advantage of it. Soccer is one of the sports that he has taken up from his field work in Costa Rica and Ecuador!

After the soccer, our team of Laurie, Wendy, Mike, Dr Dyer, and Suzanne (left to right) went out to eat. Laurie, Wendy, Suzanne are teachers from MA. Mike teaches in MA.

You can look at videoclips of the lab and more photos at Wendy's web site (under Blog and Spotlights and Laurie's site. Suzanne's photos under "Ms York's page" on the Sierra Madre School site.

Also, check out Mike's site and photos of New Orleans hurricane damage. He and Suzanne came to New Orleans early to bring sweatshirts that their schools donated to Cherokee Elementary school in Pescagoula where students have been displaced by the hurricane..
