Dr U brought in pawpaws from her orchard today. Feel free to pick some up outside of NG-130. Pawpaws are a native fruit with a creamy texture that tastes like a cross between bananas and mangoes. Supposedly, chilled pawpaw fruit was a favorite dessert of George Washington.

This afternoon LVC’s Ecology class sampled salamanders for the Student Network for Amphibian Pathogen Surveillance (SNAPS). Samples collected by LVC students will be tested for Bsal—an emerging amphibian disease. #LVCEnvi #LVCresearch #LVCWTRP

It was a busy afternoon up at LVC’s Research Preserve. We put up acorn traps, collect spotted lanternflies, took grape cuttings, and set up the first sampling quadrant for an Honor’s project. Thanks to Emily & Abby Sausser, Ilyssa McLaughlin, Ben Smith, and Aly Sager! #LVCEnvi

Field work begins! Sydney Frey and Charles Katona helped Dr U out in the Research Preserve this afternoon. Does it look like deer might have an impact in the woods? #LVCEnvi #LVCResearch

Emily also shared photos of British soldier lichen she recently discovered. Lichen are symbiotic organisms that are comprised of algae/cyanobacteria and fungi. Scientists use lichen as bioindicators of atmospheric pollution.
