This week featured some pretty routine research activities: culturing pathogens, planting tomatoes, and entering data. Although in Tanzania, things are never quite routine, so there is always something a little different or a new challenge that pops up that needs to be addressed before research can proceed.
For example, if there is no electricity, just enter data by the light of your headlamp until you laptop battery dies.
In other news, we had the first successful webinar for our iAGRI project (given by Dr. Miller on tomato disease diagnostics.) There will be more of these webinars on tomato disease management and we’ll be posting them all in one place online. I’ll be sure to link to it on my blog once we start posting.
