June: Collecting overhead photos with a toy drone.
A bit of what we have been up to the past six months in photos. We also worked inside many days, teaching classes and writing papers and proposals. It hasn’t been all fun and games, though. A horrible summer in terms of funding, with all of our grant proposals being rejected (insert clip art here of man with pockets turned inside out). On a positive note, Charlie Deaton joined the lab over the summer. He is in many of the photos below.
