Welcome to the Tahiti blog for 2011! Right now students are hard at work refining their research proposals. Our goal is to plan, as much as possible, how to address a specific research problem while we are there. In the past, some students have published their work in peer-reviewed journals (that is our goal-but it doesn't always happen). This stage involves digging into the literature and thinking hard about experimental design, contingency plans, etc. On Saturday we get on a plane in Cleveland, and we land in Tahiti on Sunday. We will try to have an update Sunday night. Thanks for reading our blog-pass it along.
