Dr. Stephanie Schuttler for welcoming us into her amazing world at the Biodiversity & Earth Observation Lab. She has worked tirelessly to provide us with many adventures that can never be recreated and will never be forgotten! For that, I am forever grateful.

Our goal, as I understand it, is to develop a system to PROVIDE any teacher, any where in the world, ACCESS to the world of mammals through CAMERA TRAPPING, and to ENCOURAGE teachers to SHARE their lessons and activities with other participants of eMammal and Citizen Scientists everywhere. No big deal, right?!?

Yesterday, at our Lunch with Liz, we learned that the ultimate goal of #StudentsDiscover and #CitizenScientists is to rule the Universe! Here’s how they intend to achieve it:

Let it be known by all that I fully intend to join them on their journey!
