Here is a long overdue photo blog update from our last TART field trip!
We started our field trip with a visit to the new research facility at Imbak Canyon. This was a fun side trip to see the facility and a different part of Sabah. Imbak is very beautiful and the new facility is massive, perhaps a good place to do research in the future.
