Field Season 2008

Well, it's a new year and a new field season. I'm leaving today to head back up to Lake Shasta. This summer, I will be trapping small mammals to get an idea about the composition of the modern mammalian community to compare with my fossil data from last year. I have a great field assistant again this year, Ariel Marcy, who is an undergrad at Stanford, and my advisor Liz and a collaborator from India (Uma) will be coming up in July. So, it should be an interesting summer and I'll try to keep this blog up-to-date so you can follow my progress!
