Quintana Roo. What a great name for a province. It reminds me of the hopping kind of marsupial that has very little to do with the Yucatan peninsula, the actual destination of this trip… We had another greatly delayed flight by United Airlines… (They had to replace tyres and brakes of our plane, a veryContinue reading “Quintana Roo”

Crocodile Hunting in City Park

It may have been a north-facing plot sandwiched between a 3-metre hedge and a wall, butContinue reading “Veggie plots and zucchinis”
Outdoor experiments

We just wrapped up the experimental phase of a large experiment about litter decomposition last week, which was led by a colleague of mine. It was a load of work, but could potentially lead to aContinue reading “Outdoor experiments”
