Over winter break, Sydne headed across the pond to continue her mistletoe study at Imperial College London’s Silwood Park campus. It was chilly, but the weather stayed nice and dry for the most part allowing for ample data collection. Highlights included using a gigantic sling shot to launch the climbing ropes into the tree canopies, discovering new individual mistletoes to include in our samples, and a delicious homemade tortilla espanola dinner with collaborators Owen Jones and Rob Salguero-Gomez, el rey de la cocina. We now have lots of data to digitize and analyze in the coming year for this project!
