Approaching the end of week 4 in the field and thus almost mid-season, we will unfortunately also say goodbye to one of our team members very soon – much too soon as all of us think!

I use this opportunity to say a heartfelt “Thank you!” to all team members, but especially to our house staff – their daily efforts and perfect service covering millions of small but important things enables us to simply focus on scientific aspects and our research, and to enjoy our stay on Sai Island as much as possible! Looking forward to the second half of our 2013 field season!
