Alberta peatland research program. Tuesday, June 4, 2013. 8220;We can’t solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them” –Albert Einstein. Who needs even small hand tools? All we really needed was ourselves for perfectly homogenized peat powder. Gloved hands: $2.50. Sweat equity: $0. Ground moss: Priceless. That is what we do. We are electricians, plumbers, carpenters, lawyers, writers, scientists, students, and we know how to hammer. Work updates: Plot layout- complete!

Athabasca has been our home for a long...

Alberta peatland research program. Monday, July 11, 2016. I just spent a few days there with Caitlyn and Wendy and we rolled along the truck-filled roads with our aim on science.
