Comedian Jamie Kennedy

Hi Students I got to see Jamie Kennedy live here at the University. Do you know who he is? He did the T.V. show the Jamie Kennedy experiement. He was real funny.

Hotel where I'm staying

I'm staying at a very old house that was converted to a hotel. It is less than a block from Tulane University where we are doing our research.

I have learned a lot about the ecology of the area specifically how Katrina and other storms are changing the physical features of the region. Here is your I assaignment. want all of my students to go online to this web site to lean more about this problem. www.nola.com/speced/lastchance

Under part 1 choose interactive graphic and watch the video.
Write a one paragraph report on what you learned.

Comparison

What do Clark and the box of inscects that he is holding have in common?

Lab

I'm working with Clark in the lab his last name is not Kent. He works in the field of entomology . There is a not on the door that says don't bug me. What do you think Clark does?

Filed Work

Hi students here is my update from the field. Yesterday I got to go out into the salt water marshes just outside of the city. I worked with two scientists and on graduate student on setting up an experiment out in the marshes. The goal of the experiement was to simulate how flooding conditions affect the natural ecosystem. Remember ecosystem is the relationship between the animals and their environment. I was a lot of hard work and I realized that do scientific experiements out in the field isn't always what you plan on. We ran into some technical difficulties and we weren't able to complete the experiement. But thats how it goes in science, you have to problem solve and then come at the problem from a different angle. This is how you make progress. By figuring out how to overcome obsticles.
The photos show us working out in the marshes.
