Prep for the 2014 field season is underway!

I am proud to say I am now officially a Master's student, and the Ranavirus Project is back in full swing out of The Ryan Lab at SUNY ESF: http://sadieryan.weebly.com

Modeling disease transmission is a tricky business, and there are literally hundreds of input variables. I will be focusing on a few major factors, one being temperature. Any #SciFund Ranavirus Project supporters out there should be pleased to know that a portion of your support allowed us to buy these nifty little things:

This is an iButton, and when coated with waterproof plastic and submerged in a pool it will log temperature data every 3 hours for up to 7 months. Good stuff.

Stay tuned, pictures and reports from the field coming up!
