Read about our incredible exchange with @ItascaBio this summer. I was lucky to get to learn from @shroominn -- thanks to @OBFSFieldBio for supporting this exchange (highly recommend to other field stations out there)
The @UMich Biological Station and the University of Minnesota Itasca Biological Station and Laboratories took time this summer to learn from each other. Teams visited their counterpart’s campus as part of a field station exchange program. @ItascaBio @UMBS myumi.ch/Q656V

@geewhiz_ephys Nice! And welcome back from the staff, too:) Hope you saw a meteorite or two shred through those aurora currents. Looks like good conditions this week. Enjoy Itasca.
Station just said goodbye to 110 people with Hydrogeology field camp, RIDGSs workshop, Iowa State demming lake research crew, Science of Craft students, and a sustainability retreat group. Still crankin’, and it’s lovely! @umncbs
Daughter turned 18 this year, and I am now able to get up inside their heads at Nature of Life first-year student orientations @ItascaBio
A spectacular clump of showy lady's-slippers! Minnesota orchid expert Welby Smith notes that large clumps such as this can be well over a hundred years old...

@MNLakeScientist Swing by the station!
Don’t forget collectors’ gear aisle. Complete with ‘don’t spray insect repellent indoors’ note. That’s love.
Twas the night before field courses, and throughout my class, all you need for mycology, and a spot for your ass.
Twas the night before field courses, and with any luck, it’s early to bed, oh wait what the….heavens. Clear skies and 40 F tonight. Sky may dance.
