If I had been wise, I would have kept a blog while I was in Africa! But I didn't, so in lieu of interesting blog posts, here are just a few photos from our 2013 field season at Lake Tanganyika in Zambia. For much better and more entertaining blog posts from the field season, check out Kelly Garvy's blog and Isaac Ligocki's blog!
Edit: Check out this post for underwater photos from the field season!
Tanganyika Science Lodge, our home base.
We lived in stone huts on the edge of Lake Tanganyika.
No running water, but we had toilets that flushed using gravity from elevated barrels that were filled with water.
The dining hall at the Tanganyika Science Lodge!
The dining table makes a great lab bench for fish dissections.
The Mobile Health Services boat in the nearby town of Mpulungu. There was another, nearly-identical boat that declared, "Wherever, Whenever". But this particular boat apparently has more time constraints.
The amazing view of Lake Tanganyika at 6am.

The lake was not always so calm!
A common sight; boats rigged up with sails made from grain sacks.
Another common sight; boats overloaded with people.
The whole crew!
