Goal reached AND field work updates!

Hi everyone! I am super excited to announce that we have reached our funding goal! Thank you to all for supporting this project (and me!), and I look forward to sharing updates as our work continues.

 

First visit to field sites + frog sampling

In other news, our first trip to the field was a success! We were able to find frogs at several field sites and measure their tick loads, collect skin swabs, and test out our LiDAR system.

So far, the highest number of ticks found on a single frog was 21 ticks (yikes!).
