It’s a busy start to 2012, and we are looking forward to what this year has in store for us! We rounded out 2011 by finishing up the data collection for Dr. Rima Franklin’s cave microbe research project. This research, funded by a grant from the National Science Foundation, was a two year study examining the role that cave bacteria play in cave development - or speleogenesis. We are anxiously awaiting her results and look forward to her publications!
