That girl swimming up above is not me. Look for me in a highly attractive silver and pink wetsuit borrowed from my friend Jaimie. I will be donning it as I swim around the coral reefs of San Salvador Island in the Bahamas participating in ongoing research of coral reef bleaching. My chemistry students back home in Utah will also be doing research and taking data related to this issue... but they don't get to swim. Sorry guys.

Homeward Bound


Well, it's my last day on this awesome adventure. We weren't able to do transects on the coral reef because the sea is too rough today... a storm is blowing in. So instead we went spelunking in an underwater cave. We saw stalagtites and stalagmites and bats and shrimp and translucent fish. It was really cool.

I'm sad to leave but I also can't wait to come home and share more stories with you.

Thanks to everyone who commented on this blog and thanks to everyone who helped make this trip possible: especially Bruce, the Hartleys, the Pleunes, Wells Fargo, and Mom.

See you all soon!
