Ants: Visitation

[rebeccmeister]

Today, our lab will have a special set of visitors: a couple of middle-schoolers, along with their teachers and parents. These lucky kids are going to tour several different places on campus, and then will be recording podcasts as part of ASU's Ask-A-Biologist program. The ant podcast and related content are going to be under development until probably June, because we're hoping to get more information together on how to build an ant farm and on cool science experiments with ants. There will also, of course, be some videos of ants, probably hosted on good old YouTube. Stay tuned.

I love this stuff--it's so fun to see people get excited about ants and science. I'm somewhat terrified of how the podcast recording will go, but I think it will be fine once it's over.
