Reporting from south Peru: political protests are peaceful, so far. We are also working in a building attached to city hall and surrounded by armed police so....

[Heather Chamberlain @MillennFalcon]

@SomervilleAD I, too, just want to party and rage in peace ✌️

[Heather Chamberlain @MillennFalcon]

@MaizeZynskiHI Ha! I just now made the connection. Happy to see you in the training today ✊️

Part 2: Careful documentation 🌽
Full PPE to keep out my human DNA 😷
Extra pbot measurements as AMS and DNA sequencing are destructive 🤘

@minorallele @SomervilleAD It worked! I had to reduce the resolution a bit to work on a laptop. Thank you for your help @minorallele and @SomervilleAD !

[Heather Chamberlain @MillennFalcon]

Help needed: I need to add a topo layer in R with elevation. If adding a USGS .tif is indeed the best way, I'll need my hand held through this!

[Heather Chamberlain @MillennFalcon]

@minorallele @SomervilleAD I will try that! Thank you @minorallele

[Heather Chamberlain @MillennFalcon]

@SomervilleAD Yup, and USGS strm is recommended, but I'm struggling to figure out how to capture all of the country, no just discrete areas.

[Heather Chamberlain @MillennFalcon]

Grateful to the Museo Contisuyo and the Ministerio de Cultura for granting access to the collection and hosting me. I can't believe this is my workplace for the next few weeks! 🥰

[Heather Chamberlain @MillennFalcon]

[Heather Chamberlain @MillennFalcon]

@traviszinnel Have any banned books you can read aloud? Preferably in a wig and heels?

[Heather Chamberlain @MillennFalcon]
