Almost ready for 1st publication
We are almost there. Our reporters have finished writing rough drafts and done peer review editing. Now we are going through the final edits and rewrites and looking to layout our first newsletter for the 2016-2017 year.
Dr. Daniels came by with good news yesterday. We have our first field trip date, Tuesday, Dec 13th to the University of Alabama!
