Welcome to QUEST 2013 participants!

Highlights of teachers' pictures from last year!

Great to see that Ann and Jim have 'liked' us now too! Where does everyone teach in NJ, and what grade/subject?

Welcome Gena and Eva - It's great to see you here!
Do either of you have any turtle stories to share? Any questions as the expedition approaches?

*Don't forget to check out our blog and general page when you get a chance (see the links in the 'About' section)

What to expect on your trip to Barnegat Bay!

Hi! My name is Jules Winters, a PhD student at Drexel University in Philadelphia. I will be your 'guide' during the QUEST expedition - showing you the ropes with developing research questions, implementing an experiment in the field, and - most importantly - how to catch turtles!

I've made this page as a means for us all to introduce ourselves before the expedition begins, post pictures during our journey, and keep in touch afterwards!

For now, I have posted a few pictures from past expeditions to give you an idea of all you have to look forward to. Also, check out the links I have posted in our 'About" section under "Contact." There is another page and blog which are updated by the current 'terrapin team' who you will be working with.

Soon enough I'll start posting some interesting news articles, research studies, and get-to-know-you questions to get the ball rolling, so please keep checking back.

Please feel free to post away yourselves - questions, introductions, ideas, and funny jokes are encouraged!
